[Intro]

[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
E 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
E 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
E 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
E 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

It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it
