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