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