VERSE I
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 II
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

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

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
