[Verse 1]
[G]I was sle[C]eping by the[G]
[D]wasteside of to[F]morrow
[Bb]But its better than slee[C]ping by th[F]e
wasteside of [Gm]today[Bm][D]
All [G]the barbershops and
[D]funeral- homes [G]were open
[D]And[F] the cus[G]tomers[Am] were com[Bb]ing
and the [C]business was doing [Gm]great

[Verse 2]
I [C]was sleeping by [G]the
[D]wasteside of to[F]mor[Am]row
[Bb]Just [D]dream[C]ing dreams and
[F]drooling on my [D]bed[G][D]
All the [G]people in my town would [D]be born
Then they'd get them
[Bm]selves a little hair [D]cut
And [Dm]then [G]promptly [Am]after[Bb]
they'd [G]be dead
[C][F#][Gm]

[Verse 3]
[C]I was sleeping by t[G]he w[D]asteside of
to[F]mor[Am]row[Bb]
When a drunk [C]girl awoke me [F]on the [G]train[F]
[D]But I did not see her stu[Dm]mbling and[F]
[D]I d[Bm]id not h[D]ear her mumb[F]ling
[G]As I dubbed my[F]self a [Eb]passen[D]ger
[C]And kindly [D]stepped [Gm]away

[Verse 4]
I was [G]sleeping [Bb]by the [Gm]waste[F#]side of to
[F]mor[Am]row I w[D]as sleepi[C]ng
I was [F]sleeping [D]I w[Gm]as sleeping
[G]by the wasteside of tomorrow
I was [C]sleep[E]ing by the [C]wasteside of
to[F]morrow [Am]of to[C]morrow
Ladies and gentlemen
I [G]was just sle- aah

[Verse 5]
[C]I w[F]as [G]sle[C]eping by the[G]
[F#]wasteside of [F]tomorrow[Eb]
But [Am]it's better [C]than sleeping by
the wasteside of [Gm]today[Bm][D]
[F]All the[G] bar[D]bershops and funer
[F]al- homes [G]were [D]open
And the [G]custom[Am]ers were
[Bb]coming [Gm]and the busin[C]ess
Was
[G]Doing
[C]Great
