Song :
F#
Intro :
F#
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
B
Pour myself a cup of ambition
F# C#
And yawn and stretch and and try to come to life
F#
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
B
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin'
F# C# F#
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Chorus :
B
Workin' 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin'
F#
Barely gettin' by - it's all takin' and no givin'
B
They just use your mind - and they never give you credit
G# C#
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
B
9 to 5 - for service and devotion
F#
You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
B
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
G# C# F#
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me mmmmmmm
F#
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
B
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
F# C#
But you got dreams he'll never take away
F#
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
B
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
F# C# F#
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'

G# C#
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
B
9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want you
F#
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
G# C#
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet
B
9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin'
