[Intro]
F C Bb Gm7 F Bb C
F C Bb Gm7 F Bb C F
GmIn the middle of lateF last night
I was sAbmaj7ittin' on a curb
BbI didn't know what aboFut
But I was Ebfeelin' quite disturbed
GmA street sweeper came wFhistlin' by
He was boAbmaj7uncin' every step
C7It seemed strange Dmhow good he fG7elt
So I Gm7asked him while he swept
[Chorus]
HC7e said, "It's my jFob
CTo beBb cleaning up this Gm7mess
And that's Fenough rBbeason to Cgo for me
It's my Fjob
CTo be beBbtter than the Gm7rest
And tFhat makes theBb day C7for Fme."
GmI got an uncle who oFwns a bank
He's a sAbmaj7elf-made millionaire
BbHe never had anyoneF to love
Never hBbad no one to care
Gm7He always seemed kinda Fsad to me
And I Abmaj7asked him why that C7was
And he told Dmme it's becaG7use
In my coGm7ntract there's this clause
[Chorus]
ThaC7t says, "It's my jFob
TCo be woBbrried half to Gm7death
And thFat's the thing Bbpeople rCespect in me
It's my jFob
BCut wBbithout it I'd be lGm7ess
Than wFhat I eBbxpect C7from Fme."
[Instrumental]
F Bb F Bb F Bb Gm7 C7 F
NGmow I've been lazy most aFll my life
Writin' sAbmaj7ongs and sleepin' late
BbAnd any manual laFbor I've done
Was pEburely by mistake
IGm7f street sweepers can smFile
Then I've got no Abmaj7right to feel upC7set
But sometimes DmI still forgG7et
'TGm7il the lights go on and the stage is set
And the song hits hFome and Bbyou feel that sCweat
[Chorus]
It's my jFob
CTo be dBbifferent than the rGm7est
And that'sF enough Bbreason to C7go for me
It's my Fjob
CTo be bBbetter than the bGm7est
And thFat's a rough Bbbreak C7for Fme
[Ending]
DIt's myG joDb
To beC cleaning up thiAm7s mess
And that's Genough rCeason to gDo for me
It's my jGob
TDo be beCtter than the Am7rest
And that mGakes the Cday D7for Gme
