A           F      F#m     G
I heard the street sweeper
        A
At four am
       F              F#m  G
And it reminded me of her
                A            F         F#m G
You were always scared of the street sweeper
                 A
And the sound it made
       F              F#m
A very special way of life
          G            A
But we've all made mistakes

[Chorus]
C#
Ohhhh
            D   E    A
But that was so long ago
                   F#m
Cut me off of your life
         D              A
And I'll cut you out of mine
                F#m
We were wasting time
       D                 A
But we always managed to rhyme
            F#m
In the middle there is a riddle
     D                   A
You only exist when you sleep
     D                   A
You only exist when you sleep

[Break]
E D# x4

[Verse 2]
          A               F            F#m   G
Above the catagories of a street sweep world
                A             F           F#m G
You were always scared of the street sweeper
                A
You were almost there
         F               F#m    G
With the sweeter sweeter worlds
                    A
Missing out of your life
      F              F#m   G
Sweet sleepin' super stars
              A
Always out to late

[Chorus]
C#
Ohhhh
            D   E    A
But that was so long ago
                   F#m
Cut me off of your life
         D              A
And I'll cut you out of mine
                F#m
We were wasting time
       D                 A
But we always managed to rhyme
            F#m
In the middle there is a riddle
     D                   A
You only exist when you sleep
     D                   A
You only exist when you sleep
