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