Up every mornin' just to keep a job,
        E        D               E        D
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob.
E             D             E     D
Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain,
      E           D             E            E7
While another day goes down the drain. Yeah, yeah.

No one owns a piece of my time.
             A            D    A       D
And theres a five o'clock me inside my clothes,
A                             B     B7
Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah.

Tradin' my time for the pay I get,
E         D            E          D
Livin' on money that I ain't made yet.
E          D               E       D
Gotta keep goin' tryin' to make my way,

While I live for the end of the day.(Yeah, yeah.)

To ease my troubled mind, yeah.

#3.
E                     D         E       D
In the shelter of her arms everything's OK.
    E                 D          E         D
She talks and the the world goes slippin' away.
    E          D            E        D
And I know the reason I can still go on,
     E           D         E           E7
When every other reason is gone, yeah, yeah.
 
CHORUS:#3.

In my five o'clock world she waits for me.

Nothing else matters at all.
D     A             D    A         D
Cause every time my baby smiles at me,

I know thats it's all worthwhile. Yeah.
