VERSE I
ETumble (022100@1)outta bed and a`stumble to the kitchen
APour (x02220@1)myself a cup of ambition
E (022100@1)                                       BAnd (x2444x@1)yawn n` stretch n` and try to come to life

EJump (022100@1)in the shower and the blood starts pumpin`
AOut (x02220@1)on the streets the traffic starts jumpin`
     E (022100@1)                  B (x2444x@1)           E (022100@1)With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

CHORUS
        AWorkin` (x02220@1)9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin`
       EBarely (022100@1)gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin`
          AThey (x02220@1)just use your mind - and they never give you credit
     F# (244322@1)                BIt`s (x2444x@1)enough to drive you crazy if you let it

A9 (x02220@1)to 5 - for service and devotion
          EYou (022100@1)would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
       AWant (x02220@1)to move ahead but the boss won`t seem to let me
  F# (244322@1)                       B (x2444x@1)            EI (022100@1)swear sometimes that man is out to get me mmmmmmm

VERSE II
EThey (022100@1)let you dream just to watch `em shatter
       AYou`re (x02220@1)just a step on the boss man`s ladder
    E (022100@1)                              BBut (x2444x@1)you got dreams he`ll never take away

EIn (022100@1)the same boat with a lot of your friends
AWaitin` (x02220@1)for the day your ship`ll come in
        E (022100@1)                        B (x2444x@1)                 EAnd (022100@1)the tide`s gonna turn an` it`s all gonna roll your way
