VERSE 1:
[C] Tumble outta bed, and stumble to the kitchen

[C] Yawnin' and stretchin' and try to come to
[G] life
VERSE 2:
[C] Jump in the shower, and the blood starts pumpin'
[F] Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin'
With
[C] folks like me on the
[G] job from 9 to
[C] 5
[C open]
CHORUS 1:
Workin'
[F] 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely
[C] gettin' by, it's all takin', and no givin'
They just
[F] use your mind, and they never give you credit
It's e-
[D]-nough to drive you,
[G] crazy if you let it
CHORUS 2:
[F] 9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would
[C] think that I, would deserve a fair promotion
Want to
[F] move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me
I
[D] swear sometimes that man
[G] is out to get me
[C]
VERSE 3:
[C] They let your dream, just a' watch 'em shatter
[F] You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
[C] But you got dream he'll never take a-
[G]-way
VERSE 4:
[C] In the same boat, with a lot of your friends
[F] Waitin' for the day, your ship 'll come in
[C] And the tide's gonna turn, and it's
[G] all gonna roll
[C] your way
[C open]
CHORUS 3:
Workin'
[F] 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely
[C] gettin' by, it's all takin', and no givin'
They just
[F] use your mind, and they never give you credit
It's e-
[D]-nough to drive you,
[G] crazy if you let it
CHORUS 4:
[F] 9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a
[C] better life, and you think about it don't you
It's a
[F] rich man's game, no matter what they call it
And you
[D] spend your life, putting
[G] money in his wallet
