( E5 )

The ( A5 ) sun is coming up I gotta drag my butt out of bed ( E5 )
My ( A5 ) phone is ringing boss is screaming "Where the hell you at?" ( E5 )
I ( B5 ) grab a cup of coffee
Tell him it won't be too long
But he don't ( A5 ) know I'm waiting for something better to come along ( E5 )

(Chorus)
There's gotta be ( A5 ) something better than 9 to 5
Every day barely gettin' by
( E5 ) Working, slaving, always aching
Way too young for my back to be breaking
( A5 ) Waiting on that rainbow
Tell me where's that pot of ( B5 ) gold? ( E5 )

( A5 ) Everyone is laughing from a distance when they see me clocking in ( E5 )
Well they'll ( A5 ) all be here in 20 years
Cussing about the same old things ( E5 )
They ( B5 ) stay there like a slave and wake up at the break of dawn
They don't ( A5 ) know I'm waiting for something better to come along ( E5 )

Chorus

( A5 - E5 - A5 - B5 )

Chorus

Well I ( A5 ) take her out on Friday
because my baby likes to paint the town ( E5 )
The ( A5 ) way she treats her man makes me think about settling down ( E5 )
I ( B5 ) told her that I love her
She said let's just hold on
Man I ( A5 ) think she's waiting on something better to come along ( E5 )
Yeah
Here she comes
Ah let's go
