9 To 5 Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
[G]Pour myself a cup of ambition
And [D]yawn and stretch
and try to come to [A]life
[D]Jump in the shower
and the blood starts pumping
[G]Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With [D]folks like me on the [A]job from [D]9 to 5

[Chorus 1]
Working [G]9 to 5, what a way to make a living
[D]Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They [G]just use your mind
and they never give you credit
It's e[E]nough to drive you [A]crazy if you let it
[G]9 to 5, for service and devotion
You [D]would think that I
would deserve a fat promotion
Want [G]to move ahead
but the boss won't seem to let me
I [E]swear sometimes that man [A]is out to get me
[D][D]

[Verse 2]
They [D]let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're [G]just a step on the boss man's ladder
But [D]you got dreams he'll never take a[A]way
[D]You're in the same boat
with a lotta your friends
[G]Waiting for the day your ship'll come in
And the [D]tide's gonna turn
and it's [A]all gonna [D]roll your way

[Chorus 2]
Working [G]9 to 5, what a way to make a living
[D]Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They [G]just use your mind
and you never get the credit
It's e[E]nough to drive you [A]crazy if you let it
[G]9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
There's [D]a better life,
and you think about it, don't you?
It's [G]a rich man's game
no matter what they call it
And you [E]spend your life
putting [A]money in his wallet

[Chorus 3]
[G]9 to 5, whoa what a way to make a living
Bare[D]ly getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They [G]just use your mind
and you never get the credit
It's e[E]nough to drive you [A]crazy if you let it
[G]9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
There's [D]a better life,
and you think about it, don't you?
It's [G]a rich man's game
no matter what they call it
And you [E]spend your life
putting [A]money in his wallet
[Fade out]
