[x2]
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
[F] 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
[F] 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-
[C]-nough to drive you,
[F] 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
[C] swear sometimes that man
[F] 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-
[F]-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
[F] 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-
[C]-nough to drive you,
[F] 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
[C] spend your life, putting
[F] money in his wallet
REPEAT CHORUS 3 & 4:
