[Intro]

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

Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’

They just use your mind, and you never get the credit
C F
It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it
D#
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
A#
There’s a better life, and you think about it don’t you
D#
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]
D#
9 to 5, what a way to make a livin’
A#
Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’
D#
They just use you mind, and they never give you credit
