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