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
