[F]Tumble out of bed and I stumble in the kitchen,
[Bb]Pour myself a cup of ambition
And [F]yawn and stretch and try to come to [C]life.
[F]Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping,
[Bb]Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With [F]folks like me on the [C]job from nine to [F]five. (2 3↓)
{soc}
Working [Bb]nine to five, what a way to make a living,
Barely [F] getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
They just [Bb] use your mind, and they never give you credit,
It's e-[G]nough to drive you, [C]crazy if you let it.
[Bb]Nine to five, for service and devotion,
You would [F] think that I, would deserve a fair promotion,
Want to [Bb] move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me,
I [G]swear sometimes, that man is [C] out to get me.

They [F]let you dream just to watch them shatter,
You're [Bb]just a step on the boss man's ladder,
But [F]you've got dreams he'll never take a-[C]way.
You're [F]in the same boat with a lot of your friends,
[Bb]Waiting for the day your ship'll come in
And the [F]tides gonna turn and it's [C]all gonna roll your [F]way. (2 3↓)

[Bb]Nine to five, yeah they've got you where they want you,
There's a [F] better life, and you think about it don't you,
It's a [Bb] rich man's game, no matter what they call it,
And you [G]spend your life, putting [C]money in his pocket.
