9 To 5

G D C/D D7 Am

[Verse]
D
I tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen,
G
Pour myself a cup of ambition,
    D                                   A    Dm7
And yawn and stretch, trying to come to life,
  D
I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping,
G
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumping,
     D                    A           Dm7 F
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5.

[Chorus]
       G6    G7                      G6
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
       D
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
          G7                                    G6
They just use your mind and they never give you credit,
     E         G6        E7/G#        A
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.

Dm D7 F#dim7 D C6

D
They let you dream just to watch'em shatter,
       G7
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder,
               D                       A
But you've got dreams he'll never take away,
       D                       G
You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends,
G7
Waiting for the day your ship'll come in,
    D                                   A            Dm7 F
The tides gonna turn and it's all gonna roll you away.

[Chorus]
        G6    G7                     G6
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
D
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
          G7                                    G6
They just use your mind and they never give you credit,
     E         G6        E7/G#         A
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.
