Tom: Am
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.
