[x2]
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-
[F]-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
[F] 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-
[F]-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
[F] spend your life, putting
[A#] money in his wallet
REPEAT CHORUS 3 & 4:
