VERSE 1:

 4    4      4  4      5     5    5  6    6      6    6    -6    7 

Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen

  -5     -5   -6 -6  7    -6   7  -8   7 

Pour myself a cup of ambition 

  -6      7       -6         7       -6    -6   6    -6      5    6 

And yawn and stretch and try to come to life

   4      4   4        5         5      5       6          6       -6     7

Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'

Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin'

-6        8      -8    7    6    -6    6     5        6   -6   5 -4 4 

The folks like me on the job from nine to fi-i-ive

  -6       7      8/     -8     7        -6      7     7 -6      7     7    -8  8

They just use your mind and they never give you credit

-6      7   -8   -8   -8     -8   -10 8  9   8    9  8 -8  7

It's enough to drive you crazy if you let i-i-it

Nine to five, for service and devotion

   -6       7        8       -8   7 -6  6      7          7   7  -6   7     7   -8   8

You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends

  -5  -5    -5    -5  -6     -6      7 -6      7    -8  7 

Waitin' for the day your ship'll come i-in
