Capo on 2nd fret
[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
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 mmmmmmm
[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
[Repeat 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
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 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, 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
