Sweeping

E Am B E7

[Verse 1]

E
Red carpet crying baby blue
Am                        E E7
Nothing that crosses your lips is true
E                Am               B
You'll be philosophizing, or criticizing
                      E    E7
Until your face turns blue
E                                Am
And while you're sitting in your ivory tower high
          B                             E E7
All those diggers in those ditches just wither and die
E                            Am
Drinking off all those sweet tears that you cry
           B                         E    E7
'Cause you know it's getting so damn dry outside

[Chorus]
E                                     Am
While you're sitting inside with your feet up by the fire
         C                     B                          E
We'll be sweeping, ah we'll be sweeping the steps of your empire
              Am                    C       B
Yeah we'll be sweeping, ah we'll be sweeping
                  E
The steps of your empire

[Verse 2]
E                                 Am
Think about your hands how they'll never hammer nails
               B                                 E    E7
And how you'll never spend the night inside that hard cold jail
E                                       Am
How you'll never feel the falling of the rain or the hail
     B                      E7
Your skin will forever grow so pale
E                           Am
And it ain't like there's a master or a slave
        B                             E E7
No there isn't any way that you could ever behave
           E                            Am
Ain't like you're going to recognize on some beautiful day
    B                            E     E7
Now you just got to pay all them debts that you made

[Chorus]

E                                    Am
While you're sitting inside thinking who started the fire
         C                     B                          E
We'll be sweeping, ah we'll be sweeping the steps of your empire
              Am                    C   B
Yeah we'll be sweeping, ah we'll be sweeping
