D        Am              D       C
Up every morning just to keep a job
      D         Am             D         Am7 D
Gotta fight my way through the husslin' mob
              Am            D        C
Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
       D          Am            D
While another day goes down the drain

           G            C              G         C
But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
G             C           G    C
No one owns a piece of my time
              G            C     G         C
And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
G                                A       D
Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah

Tradin' my time for the pay I get
  D           Am           D            Am7  D
Livin' on the money that I ain't made yet
           Am7          D       C
Gotta keep going, gotta make my way
      D            Am         D
But I live for the end of the day


🎸 Chorus 2:
              G            C              G       C
'Cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
G             C           G    C
No one owns a piece of my time
              G           C        G        C
And there's a long haired girl who waits
I know

To ease my troubled mind, yeah

In the shelter of her arms everythings okay
    D             Am         D         Am7  D
She talks and the world goes slippin' away
           Am           D        C
I know the reason I can still go on
     D           Am        D
When every other reason is gone


🎸 Chorus 3:
             G            C         G          C
'Cause in my five o'clock world she waits for me
G            C          G   C
Nothing else matters at all
       G            C      G        C
'Cause everytime my baby smiles at me
  G                        A         D
I know that its all worthwhile, yeah
      Am  D Am7 D  Am7 D Am7 D
Yodel-ay-ee-wee-oh
