[Verse 1]
Red carpet [Am]crying baby blue
[Baug]Nothing that crosses your
[Em]lips is [Esus4]true[E]
You'll be philosophiz[Am]ing,
or criticizing
[Baug]Until your face turns bl[Em]ue[E][Esus4]

[Verse 2]
[E]And while you're sitting
in your [Am]ivory tower high
All those [Baug]drinkers in those ditches
just [Em]wither and [E]die
Drinking off all those sweet
[Am]tears that you cry
'Cause you [Baug]know it's getting
so [Em]damn dry [E]outside
While you're sitting inside with
your [Am]feet up by the fire
We'll be [C]sweeping,
ah we'll be [B]sweeping the steps of your [E]empire
Yeah we'll [Am]be sweeping,
ah we'll be [C]sweeping
[B]The steps of your emp[E]ire

[Verse 3]
Think about your hands how [Am]they'll
never hammer nails
And how [Baug]you'll never spend the night
inside that [Em]hard [E]cold jail
How you'll never feel the falling
[Am]of the rain or the hail
Your [Baug]skin will forever gro[E]w so pale
And it ain't like there's
a mas[Am]ter or a slave
No there [Baug]isn't any way that
you could [Em]ever [E]be have
Ain't like you're going to recognize
[Am]on some beautiful day
[B]Now [Baug]you just got to pay all [Em]them
debts that you [Esus4]made[E]
While you're sitting inside thinking
[Am]who started the fire
We'll be [C]sweeping,
ah we'll be [B]sweeping the steps of your [E]empire
Yeah we'll [Am]be sweeping,
ah we'll [C]be sweeping
[B]

[Verse 4]
We'll be [C]sweeping,

Yeah we'll be [Am]sweeping,
ah we'll be [C]sweeping
[B]
