Verse:
D MajorD
I tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen,
G+G
Pour myself a cup of ambition,
D MajorD A augmentedA Dm7Dm7
And yawn and stretch, trying to come to life,
D MajorD
I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping,
G+G
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumping,
D MajorD A augmentedA Dm7Dm7 FF
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5.
Chorus:
G6G6 G7G7 G6G6
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
D MajorD
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
G7G7 G6G6
They just use your mind and they never give you credit,
E MajorE G6G6 E7/G# A augmentedA
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.

They let you dream just to watch'em shatter,

You're just a step on the boss man's ladder,
D MajorD A augmentedA
But you've got dreams he'll never take away,
D MajorD G+G
You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends,
G7G7
Waiting for the day your ship'll come in,
D MajorD A augmentedA Dm7Dm7 FF
The tides gonna turn and it's all gonna roll you away.
Chorus:
G6G6 G7G7 G6G6

They just use your mind and they never give you credit,

It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.
