[Verse 1]
C7 F
You tasted the porridge
C F
And ran before the grizzlies took your life
C F
But you tried to ignore it
C F
The yen that wreathes the corners of your mind?
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
All you said you wanted
F
Was some time alone to look over the Treaty of Versailles
Bb C
But all you really wanted
F
Was a 9 to 5
C F C F
To pay the bills on time
[Verse 2]
C7 F
You dug from the storage
C F
A tapestry that could not weave to scale
C F
Your shoes stuck to the mortgage
C F
Like zebra muscles sticking to the shale (shale!)
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
All you said you wanted
F
Was some time alone to look over the Treaty of Versailles
Bb C
But all you really wanted
F
Was a 9 to 5
C7 F C7 F
To pay the bills on time
[Bridge]
C7 F C Dm
To pay the bills on time
Dm Bb Gm F
("Oh!" scream)
F Bb C F
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
All you said you wanted
F
Was some time alone to reassess your life
Bb C
All you really wanted
F
Was a 9 to 5
N.C.
To pay the bills on time
