[D]Tumble out of bed and I stumble in the kitchen,
[G]Pour myself a cup of ambition
[D]And yawn and stretch and try to come to [A]life.
[D]Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping,
[G]Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With [D]folks like me on the [A]job from 9 to [D]5.


{c:Chorus 1:}
{soc}
Working [G]9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
Barely [D]getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
They just [G]use your mind and they never give you credit,
It's [E]enough to make you [A]crazy if you let it.
[G]9 to 5, for service and devotion,
You would [D]think that I would deserve a fair promotion,
Want to [G]move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me,
I [E]swear sometimes, that [A]man is out to get me.
{eoc}


They [D]let you dream just to watch them shatter,
You're [G]just a step on the boss man's ladder,
But [D]you've got dreams he'll never take [A]away.
You're [D]in the same boat with a lot of your friends,
[G]Waiting for the day your ship'll come in
The [D]tides gonna turn and it's [A]all gonna roll your way. [D]


{c:Chorus 2:}
{soc}
Working [G]9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
Barely [D]getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
They just [G]use your mind and they never give you credit,
It's [E]enough to make you [A]crazy if you let it.
Working [G]9 to 5, yeah they've got you where they want you,
There's a [D]better life, and you dream about it don't you,
It's a [G]rich man's game, no matter what they call it,
And you [E]spend your life putting [A]money in his pocket. [D]
{eoc}


{c:Chorus 1:}
{soc}
Working [G]9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
Barely [D]getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
They just [G]use your mind and they never give you credit,
It's [E]enough to make you [A]crazy if you let it.
[G]9 to 5, for service and devotion,
You would [D]think that I would deserve a fair promotion,
Want to [G]move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me,
I [E]swear sometimes, that [A]man is out to get me.
