G
Tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen
C
Pour myself a cup of ambition
G D
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
G
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin’
C
Out in the street the traffic starts jumpin’
G D G
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Chorus 1, 3 & 5
C
Workin’ 9-5 what a way to make a livin’
G
Barely getting’ by, it’s all taking and no giving
C
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
A7 D
It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it
They let you dream just to watch them shatter
But you’re just a step on the bossman’s ladder
But you’ve got dreams he’ll never take away
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin’ that day for your ship to come in
And the tides gonna turn and it’s all gonna roll your way
Chorus 2
Nine to five, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Chorus 4 & 6
Nine to five they got you where they want you
There’s a better life and you dream about it don’t you
It’s a rich man’s game, no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin’ money in his pocket
