G
Tumble out of bed, and I stumble to the kitchen.
C
Pour myself a cup of ambition
G
And yawning, stretching, trying to come to 
D
life.

G
Jump in the shower, the blood starts pumping
C
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumping
G
And folks like me
D
On the job from
G
9 to 5.

Chorus:
G
Working
C
9 to 5, what a way to make a living, barely
G
Getting by, it's all taking and no giving. They just
C
Use your mind, and they never give you credit. It's 
D
Enough to drive you crazy if you let it.
