[Verse]ETumble outta bed and a`stumble to the kitchenAPour myself a cup of ambitionE BAnd yawn n` stretch n` and try to come to lifeEJump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin`AOut on the streets the traffic starts jumpin`E B EWith folks like me on the job from 9 to 5[Chorus]AWorkin` 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin`EBarely gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin`AThey just use your mind - and they never give you creditF# BIt`s enough to drive you crazy if you let itA9 to 5 - for service and devotionEYou would think that I would deserve a fair promotionAWant to move ahead but the boss won`t seem to let meF# B EI swear sometimes that man is out to get me mmmmmmm[Verse]EThey let you dream just to watch `em shatterAYou`re just a step on the boss man`s ladderE BBut you got dreams he`ll never take awayEIn the same boat with a lot of your friendsAWaitin` for the day your ship`ll come inE B EAnd the tide`s gonna turn an` it`s all gonna roll your way[Chorus]AWorkin` 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin`EBarely gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin`AThey just use your mind - and you never get the creditF# BIt`s enough to drive you crazy if you let it[Chorus]A9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want youEThere`s a better life - and you think about it don`t youAIt`s a rich man`s game - no matter what they call itF# BAnd you spend your life putting money in his wallet[Chorus]A9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin`EBarely gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin`AThey just use your mind - and they never give you creditF# BIt`s enough to drive you crazy if you let it[Chorus]A9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want youEThere`s a better life - and you dream about it don`t youAIt's a rich man`s game - no matter what they call itF# BAnd you spend your life putting money in his wallet
