A             G#
Out of bed at 6:15
G             F#
In a rush and you can't think
A               G#
Gotta catch the bus and train
G                 F#
I'm in a rush and feelin' insane

Chorus:
D                   F#
I can't take this crazy pace
D              F#
I've become a mental case
D                  F#               B
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

Go to work, it's such a drag
Face the boss, he's such a nag
In a suit and in a tie
I look so late I wanna die

Chorus - x2

I punch the clock at 9:05
I know I'm late, but still alive
Everyone just stares at me
(I'm last in line for this party)

Chorus

Five o'clock rolls around
I feel so glad I kiss the ground
Ain't enough hours in the day
There's go to be a better way

Chorus - x2
