The Importance Of Being Idle

Written by Noel



*Intro

Am   Em   Am   Em   Am   Em   Am   E   Am

Am





I sold my soul for the second time

Am                     Fmaj7



Cos the man don't pay me

        C         B7  E



I begged my landlord for some more time

Am                       Fmaj7



He said "Son the bills are waiting"

         C                 B7 E



My best friend called me the other night

Am                           Fmaj7



He say "Man - you crazy"

        C         B7 E



My girlfriend told me to get a life

Am                       Fmaj7



She say "Boy - you lazy"

         C         B  E



But I don't mind

Dm          Am



As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine

Dm                                   Am



I'll be fine, if you give me a minute

Dm      Am           F



A man's got a limit

F



I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

G                        E                 E7





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've lost my faith in the summer time

Cos it don't stop raining

The sky all day is as black as night

But I'm not complaining

I begged my doctor for one more line

He say "Son - words fail me

It ain't your place to be killing time"

I guess I'm just lazy





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



*Outro

Am   Em   Am   Em   Am   Em   Am   E   Am
