[Intro]

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