Verse 1:
Gb
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
B
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Gb                                          Db
And yawn and stretch and and try to come to life

Gb
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
B
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin'
     Gb                   Db            Gb
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Chorus:
        B
Workin' 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin'
       Gb
Barely gettin' by - it's all takin' and no givin'
          B
They just use your mind - and they never give you credit
     Ab                  Db
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

B
9 to 5 - for service and devotion
          Gb
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                          Db             Gb
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me mmmmmmm

Verse 2:
Gb
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
       B
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
    Gb                               Db
But you got dreams he'll never take away

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

Chorus:
        B
Workin' 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin'
      Gb
Barely gettin' by - it's all takin' and no givin'
         B
They just use your mind - and you never get the credit
     Ab                  Db
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

B
9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want you
         Gb
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                      Db
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet

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

B
9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want you
         Gb
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                      Db
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet
