Lyrics

((G))Tum ble out of bed and I stum ble to the kit chen, ((C))pour my self a cup of am bi tion and yawn and stretch and try to come to life.

((G))Jump in the shower and the blood starts pump ing, ((C))out on the streets the traf fic starts jump ing with folks like me on the job from nine to five.

Work ing (C)nine to five.

What a way to make a liv ing.

Bare ly get ting by, it’s all tak ing and no giv ing.

They just use your mind and they nev er give you cre dit.

It’s e (A)nough (Bm7)to drive (A7)you (D)cra zy if you let it.

(C)Nine to five

for ser vice and de vo tion you would think that I would de serve a fair pro mo tion.

Want to move a head but the boss won’t seem to let me.

I (A)swear (Bm7)some times that (A7)man is out to get me.
