Verse
[E]Tumble outta bed and a`stumble to the kitchen
[A]Pour myself a cup of ambition
[E]And yawn n` stretch n` and try to come to [B]life
[E]Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin`
[A]Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin`
With [E]folks like me on the [B]job from 9 to [E]5
Chorus
Workin` [A]9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin`
Barely [E]gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin`
They just [A]use your mind - and they never give you credit
It`s [F#m]enough to drive you [B]crazy if you let it
[A]9 to 5 - for service and devotion
You would [E]think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to[A]to move ahead but the boss won`t seem to let me
I [F#m]swear sometimes that man is [B]out to get me m[E]mmmmmmm
Verse
[E]They let you dream just to watch `em shatter
You`re [A]just a step on the boss man`s ladder
But [E]you got dreams he`ll never take a[B]away
[E]In the same boat with a lot of your friends
[A]Waitin` for the day your ship`ll come in
And the [E]tide`s gonna turn an` it`s [B]all gonna roll your [E]way
Repeat Chorus
Workin` [A]9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin`
