[F] [C] [Bb] [Gm] [F] [Bb] [D] [C]
[F] [C] [Dm] [Gm] [F] [C] [F]
[Gm] In the middle of [F] late last night I [Ab] was sitting [Ebm] on a [Ab] curb
[Bb] I didn't know what [F] about but I was [Eb] feeling quite disturbed
[Gm] A street sweeper [F] came a-whistling by he [Ab] was bouncing every [C] step
[Dm] It seemed strange how good he [G] felt
So [Gm] I asked him [C] while he swept he said it's [F] my job
[C] To be [Dm] cleaning [Gm] up this mess [F] and that's [Bb] enough reason to [C] go for me.
It's my [F] job
[C] To be [Gm] better than the rest [F] and that makes [C] the day [F] for me.
[Gm] I got an uncle [Am] who owns a bank.
He's [Ab] a self-made millionaire
He [Bb] [Dm] never had [F] anyone to love never [Eb] had no one to care
[Gm] He always seemed kind [Am] of sad to me and [Ab] I asked him why [Bb] that [C] was
And [Dm] he told me it's [G] because
In [D] my contract there's [C] this clause that says it's [F] my job
[C] To [Bb] be worried [Gm] half to death [F] and that's the [Bb] thing people respect [C] in me.
It's [F] my job
[C] But [Gm] without it I'd be less [F] than what I [C] expect [F] from me
[Bb] [F] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [C]
[F] [Gm] Now I've been lazy [F] most all my life [Fm] writing songs [Ab] and sleeping late
[Bb] And any [F] manual labor I've done [Eb] is purely by mistake
[Gm] If street sweepers [F] can smile then I've [Ab] got no right to feel [C] upset
But [Dm] sometimes I still [G] forget
Till [Gm] the lights go on and [C] the stage [Gm] is set and the song hit [F] the hall and [Bb] you feel that [C] sweat
It's [F] my job
[C] To [Bb] be different [Gm] than the rest [F] and that's [Bb] enough reason to go for [C] me.
It's [F] my job
[C] To [Bb] be better [Gm] than the rest [F] and that's a [C] rougher break [F] for me.
[D] It's my [G] [D] job
To be [Em] cleaning [Am] up this mess [G] and that's [C] enough reason to [D] go for me.
It's my [G] job
[D] To be [C] better than the rest and [G] that makes [D] a day [G] for me
[C] [C] [C] [D] [G]
