VERSE I
F#
Tumble outta bed and a`stumble to the kitchen
B
Pour myself a cup of ambition
F#                                        C#
And yawn n` stretch n` and try to come to life

F#
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin`
B
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin`
     F#                    C#           F# 
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

CHORUS
        B
Workin` 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin`
       F#
Barely gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin`
          B
They just use your mind - and they never give you credit
     Ab                  C#
It`s enough to drive you crazy if you let it

B
9 to 5 - for service and devotion
          F#
You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
       B
Want to move ahead but the boss won`t seem to let me
  Ab                         C#             F#
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me mmmmmmm

VERSE II
F#
They let you dream just to watch `em shatter
       B
You`re just a step on the boss man`s ladder
    F#                                C#
But you got dreams he`ll never take away

F#
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
B
Waitin` for the day your ship`ll come in
        F#                          C#                  F#
And the tide`s gonna turn an` it`s all gonna roll your way

REPEAT CHORUS
        B
Workin` 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin`
      F#
Barely gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin`
         B
They just use your mind - and you never get the credit
     Ab                  C#
It`s enough to drive you crazy if you let it

B
9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want you
         F#
There`s a better life - and you think about it don`t you
      B
It`s a rich man`s game - no matter what they call it
        Ab                      C#
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet

B
9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin`
       F#
Barely gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin`
         B
They just use you mind - and they never give you credit
     Ab                  C#
It`s enough to drive you crazy if you let it

B
9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want you
         F#
There`s a better life - and you dream about it don`t you
      B
It's a rich man`s game - no matter what they call it
        Ab                      C#
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet
