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