VERSE 1:
[G] Tumble outta bed, and stumble to the kitchen
[C] Pour myself a cup of ambition
[G] Yawnin' and stretchin' and try to come to
[D] life
VERSE 2:
[G] Jump in the shower, and the blood starts pumpin'
[C] Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin'
With
[G] folks like me on the
[D] job from 9 to
[G] 5
[G open]
CHORUS 1:
Workin'
[C] 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely
[G] gettin' by, it's all takin', and no givin'
They just
[C] use your mind, and they never give you credit
It's e-
[A]-nough to drive you,
[D] crazy if you let it
CHORUS 2:
[C] 9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would
[G] think that I, would deserve a fair promotion
Want to
[C] move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me
I
[A] swear sometimes that man
[D] is out to get me
[G]
VERSE 3:
[G] They let your dream, just a' watch 'em shatter
[C] You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
[G] But you got dream he'll never take a-
[D]-way
VERSE 4:
[G] In the same boat, with a lot of your friends
[C] Waitin' for the day, your ship 'll come in
[G] And the tide's gonna turn, and it's
[D] all gonna roll
[G] your way
[G open]
CHORUS 3:
Workin'
[C] 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely
[G] gettin' by, it's all takin', and no givin'
They just
[C] use your mind, and they never give you credit
It's e-
[A]-nough to drive you,
[D] crazy if you let it
CHORUS 4:
[C] 9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a
[G] better life, and you think about it don't you
It's a
[C] rich man's game, no matter what they call it
And you
[A] spend your life, putting
[D] money in his wallet
REPEAT CHORUS 3 & 4:
