9 To 5

     D
    Tumble out of bed and I stumble 
to the kitchen,
     G
    pour myself a cup of ambition,
         D                         
    and yawn, and stretch, and try 
            A
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   
    with folks like me on the job 
         D
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                           
   I swear sometimes, that man is  
A                 D
    out to get me.

          D
    They let you dream just to watch
 them shatter,
            G
    you're just a step on the boss 
man's ladder,
         D                     
    but you've got dreams he'll 
              A
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                     
    and the tide's gonna turn, and 
     A                    D
it's all gonna roll your way.
            G

    9 to 5, yeah, they've got you 
where they want you,
              D
    there's a      better life, and 
you think about it, don't you?

    It's a     rich man's game, no 
matter what they call it,

  A
 money in his pocket.
