The importance of being idle

CAPO II

Em   Em   Em   Em

I sold my soul for the second time
'Cause the man don't pay        me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said, "Son, the bill's wai------ting"
My best friend called me the other night
He said, "Man, are you cra-------zy?"
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said, "Boy, you la--------zy"

   But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath
The stars that shine
   I'll be fine
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it..............

   But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath
The stars that shine
   I'll be fine
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it..............

I lost my faith in the summertime
'Cause it don't stop rai-------ning
The sky all day is as black as night
But I'm not complai-------ning
I begged my Doctor for one more line
He said, "Son, words fail         me"
There ain't no place to be killing time
I guess I'm just la---------zy

   But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath
The stars that shine
   I'll be fine
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it..............
