9 to 5

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

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

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