[x2]
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:
