Verse 1

{G}

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] Tumble outta bed and a'stumble to the

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] kitchen

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] Pour myself a cup of am-

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] bition

And

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] yawn n' stretch n' and try to come to

[D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] life

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] Jump in the shower and the blood starts

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] pumpin'

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] Out on the streets the traffic starts

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] jumpin'

With

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] folks like me on the

[D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] job from nine to

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] five

Chorus 1

Workin'

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] nine to five, what a way to make a

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] livin'

Barely

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] gettin' by, it's all takin' and no

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] givin'

They just

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] use your mind, and they never give you

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] credit

It's

[A7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Major Second] enough to drive you

[D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] crazy if you let it

Chorus 2

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] Nine to five, for service and

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] devotion

You would

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] think that I would deserve a fair pro-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] motion

Want to

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] move ahead but the boss won't seem to

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] let me

[A7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Major Second] swear sometimes that man is

[D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] out to get me

Verse 2

They

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] let you dream just to watch 'em

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] shatter

You're

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] just a step on the boss man's

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] ladder

But

on the Perfect Unison] you got dreams he'll never take a-

[D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] way

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] You're in the same boat with a lot of your

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] friends

[C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] Waitin' for the day your ship'll come

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] in

And the

[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] tide's gonna turn, an' it's

[D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] way

on the Perfect Fifth] money in his wallet
