D
    Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen,
      G
    pour myself a cup of ambition,
             D                                                        A
    and yawn, and stretch, and try to come to life.
      D
    Jump in the shower, and the blood starts pumping,
     G
    out on the street, the traffic starts jumping,
            D                             A                  D
    with folks like me on the job from 9 to 5.
                  G
    Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
               D
    barely     getting by, it's all taking and no giving.
                    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.

              D
    They let you dream just to watch them shatter,
                G
    you're just a step on the boss man's ladder,
            D                                                       A
    but you've got dreams he'll never take away.
                D
    You`re 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, and it's all gonna roll your way.
                  G

   G
    9 to 5, yeah, they've 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 pocket.
