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