F# F#
Tumble out of bed, and I stumble to the kitchen.
B B
Pour myself a cup of ambition
F# F#
And yawn and stretch
C# C#
and try to come to life

F# F#
Jump in the shower, the blood starts pumping
B B
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumping
F# F#
And folks like me
C# C# F# F#
On the job from nine to five

Chorus:
B B
Working nine to five, what a way to make a living,
#
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
B B
They just use your mind, and they never give you credit
G# G# C# C#
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.

B B
Nine to five, for service and devotion
F# F#
You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
B B
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
G# G# C# C#
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

F# F#
Mmmm

[Verse 2]

F# F#
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
B B
You're just a step on the bossman's ladder
F# F# C# C#
But you've got dreams he'll never take away
F# F#
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
B B
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
F# F# C# C#
And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way

[Chorus]

B B
Working nine to five, what a way to make a living,
F# F#
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
B B
They just use your mind, and they never give you credit
G# G# C# C#
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.

B B
Nine to five, yeah, they got you where they want you
F# F#
There's a better life and you think about it don't you
B B
It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it
G# G# C# C#
And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet


B B
Working nine to five, what a way to make a living,

They just use your mind, and they never give you credit
