Gm                   F                  
In the middle of late last night 
       Abmaj7 
I was sittin' on a curb 
Bb                    F             
I didn't know what about 
          Eb 
But I was feelin' quite disturbed 
Gm                     F                      
A street sweeper came whistlin' by 
         Abmaj7 
He was bouncin' every step 
C7                Dm           G7          
It seemed strange how good he felt 
     Gm7 
So I asked him while he swept 
 
 
C7 F He said, 'It's my job C Bb Gm7 To be cleaning up this mess F Bb C And that's enough reason to go for me F It's my job C Bb Gm7 To be better than the rest F Bb C7 F And that makes the day for me.'
Gm F I got an uncle who owns a bank Abmaj7 He's a self-made millionaire Bb F He never had anyone to love Bb Never had no one to care Gm7 F He always seemed kinda sad to me Abmaj7 C7 And I asked him why that was Dm G7 And he told me it's because Gm7 In my contract there's this clause Chorus: C7 F That says, 'It's my job C Bb Gm7 To be worried half to death F Bb C And that's the thing people respect in me F It's my job C Bb Gm7 But without it I'd be less F Bb C7 F Than what I expect from me.' Instrumental: F Bb F Bb F Bb Gm7 C7 F Gm F Now I've been lazy most all my life Abmaj7 Writin' songs and sleepin' late Bb F And any manual labor I've done Eb Was purely by mistake Gm7 F If street sweepers can smile Abmaj7 C7 Then I've got no right to feel upset Dm G7 But sometimes I still forget Gm7 'Til the lights go on and the stage is set F Bb C And the song hits home and you feel that sweat Chorus: F It's my job C Bb Gm7 To be different than the rest F Bb C7 And that's enough reason to go for me F It's my job C Bb Gm7 To be better than the best F Bb C7 F And that's a rough break for me Ending: D G D It's my job C Am7 To be cleaning up this mess G C D And that's enough reason to go for me G It's my job D C Am7 To be better than the rest G C D7 G And that makes the day for me G C G C G C Am7 D7 G Abmaj7 4th E|---|---|---|--- B|-X-|---|---|--- G|---|-X-|---|--- D|---|-X-|---|--- A|---|---|-X-|--- E|-X-|---|---|---
