Year: 2005 - Album: Don't Believe The Truth

Written by Noel Thomas David Gallagher

	  		Intro: Am Em (x4)  
       Am 
        
  Am                    Fmaj7 
i sold my soul for the second time 
         C             B7  E 
cos the land, it don't pay me 
   Am                    Fmaj7 
i begged my landlord for some more time 
          C                 B7 E 
he said "son, the bills are waiting" 
    Am                       Fmaj7 
my best friend called me the other night 
          C           B7 E 
he said "man, are you crazy?" 
    Am                    Fmaj7 
my girlfriend told me to get a life 
           C           B7 E 
she said "boy, are you lazy" 
 
Dm           Am      (you can play barre chords here) 
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 
        Fmaj7                 
if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit 
   G                       E 
i can't get a life if my heart's not in it... 
 
(instrumental) 
Am Fmaj7 C B7  E 
  
Dm           Am 
i don't mind 
    Dm                                Am 
as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine 
Dm      Am 
i'll be fine 
        Fmaj7                 
if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit 
   G                       E 
i can't get a life if my heart's not in it... 
(repeat intro) 
Fmaj7 Am 
   Am                   Fmaj7 
i lost my faith in the summertime 
        C         B7 E 
cos it don't stop raining 
    Am                 Fmaj7 
the sky all day is as black as night 
         C      B7 E 
but i'm not complaining 
   Am                  Fmaj7 
i begged my doctor for one more line 
          C           B7  E 
he said "son... words fail me" 
   Am                   Fmaj7 
it ain't no place to be killing time 
        C        B7 E 
i guess i'm just lazy 
Dm           Am 
i don't mind 
    Dm                                Am 
as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine 
Dm      Am 
i'll be fine 
        Fmaj7                 
if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit 
   G                       E 
i can't get a life if my heart's not in it... 
 
(repeat intro) 
Am Fmaj7  (ends with Am )
