         [hey]     [hey]     [hey]     [hey]

Verse 1:

      E         D               E      D
      Up every morning just to keep a job
               E        D               E        D
      I gotta fight my way through the hustlin' mob
       E             D            E      D
      Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
             E           D             E
      While another day goes down the drain

Chorus 1:

                  A            D              A       D
      But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
      A             D           A     D
      Noone owns a piece of my time
                     A           D     A        D
      And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
      A                              B
      Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah

      E   D     E    D    E    D    E    D
      Adaladee-hee, hee, yeah

Verse 2:

      Tradin' my time for the pay I get
      Livin' on money that I ain't made yet
      Gotta keep goin', gotta make my way
      But I live for the end of the day

Chorus 2:

      But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
      Noone owns a piece of my time
      And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
      To ease my troubled mind, yeah

      Adaladee-hee, hee, yeah

Verse 3:

      In the shelter of her arms everythings OK
      She talks and the world goes slippin' away (it slips away)
      And I know the reason I can still go on
      When every other is gone

Chorus 3:

      In my five o'clock world she waits for me
      Nothing else matters at all
      'Cause every time my baby smiles at me
      I know that its all worthwhile, yeah

Coda: [repeat to fade]

      E   D     E    D    E    D    E    D
      Adaladee-hee, hee, yeah
