F#
[Verse 1]
F#Tumble outta bed
And I stumble to the kitchen
BPour myself a cup of ambition
And F#yawn and stretch
And try to come to life
C# F#Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
BOut on the street
The traffic starts jumpin'
The F#folks like me on the C#job from 9F# to 5
[Chorus]
Workin' B9 to 5,
What a way to make a livin'
BarelyF# gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They justB use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's eG#nough to drive you C#crazy
If you let it
B9 to 5, for service and devotion
You wouldF# think that I
Would deserve a fat promotion
Want toB move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I G#swear sometimes that man isC# out to get me F#

They F#let you dream
Just to watch 'em shatter
You're Bjust a step
On the bossman's ladder
But F#you got dreams
He'll never take away C#
F#You're in the same boat
With a lotta your friends
BWaitin' for the day your ship'll come in
'N' the F#tide's gonna turn
And it's C#all gonna roll F#your way
