Nine to Five

Tumble outa bed and I stumble to the kitchen.

(A)Pour myself a cup of ambition.

(E)Yawn and stretch and try to come to life.

(E)Jump in the show'r and the blood starts pumpin'.

(A)Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin' for folks (E)like me on the (B)job from nine (E)to (A)five.

(E)Workin' (A7)nine to five,

what a way to make a livin'.

Barely (E)gettin' by.

It's all takin' and no givin'.

They just (A7)use your mind and they never give you credit.

It's (F#)enough (G#m7)to drive (Adim7)you (F#)(B)crazy if (C#m7)you let (Ddim7)it.

(E)Hoo hoo hoo

oo woo (F5)My two lives have got me hoppin'.

(Bb7)Dawn 'til midnight, there's no stoppin'.

(F)Don't know which I'm mothering the most.

(F)Pack his lunch and kiss my (F7)son 'n (Bb7)grab my purse and I keep runnin'.

(F)Got so much on my (C)plate I could (F9)choke.

(F7)Workin' (Bb7)nine to five.

For service and devotion, you would (F7)think that I would deserve a fat promotion.

Want to (Bb7)move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me.

I (G)swear (Am7)sometimes (Bbdim7)that (G)man is (C)out (Dm7)to (Ebdim7)get me.

(F)Nine to five.

They (G)let you dream just to watch 'em shatter.

You're (C)just a step on the boss man's ladder,

but (G)you got dreams he'll never take (D)away.

You're in (G)the same boat with a lot of your (G9)friends.

(C)Waitin' for the day your ship 'll come in.

The (G)tide's gonna turn and it's (D)all gonna (G)roll your way.

(C7)Nine to five.

As long as we're together, you know (G)you and I

will make it through (C)(G)whatever.

They can't (C7)keep us down.

We'll just rise above it.

You hold (A)(Bm7)onto me.

(Cdim7)We'll (A)(D)tell 'em (Em7)where to (Fdim7)shove it.

(G5)Nine to five, you can lose your mind.

(C9)Get up and work, get up (Dm7)and work.

(G5)Nine to five, you can lose your mind.

(C9)Workin' nine (Dm7)to (Em7)five.

Lose (G)your mind.
