Lyrics

[Intro]
| E5 G | A - | E5 G |

[Chorus]
A     E5               G            A
 This tryin' to make a livin' isn't supposed to feel like
dyin'
        E5            G
Lookin' for my golden ticket,
      A
can't find no silver linin'
E5
These days,
      G                A
"9to5" feels more like "twentyfive to life,
" and
E5               G            A
Tryin' to make a livin' isn't supposed to feel like dyin'

[Verse 1]
            E5
I punch the clock,
              G                                A
wanna punch a ticket to New York and punch the boss
                                               E5
But they don't pay enough for me to cover that cost
                     G
So, I punch the Sheetrock instead
A
Cover my debts, keep the family fed
          E5                   G
They been promisin' me another dollar or three
         A
But that talk is as cheap as these boots I'm wearin'
    E5                     G
And that's been wearin' on more than my soul
    A
And all that I know

[Chorus]
   E5               G            A
Is tryin' to make a livin' isn't supposed to feel like
dyin'
        E5            G
Lookin' for my golden ticket,
      A
can't find no silver linin'
E5
These days,
      G                A
"9to5" feels more like "twentyfive to life,
" and
E5               G            A
Tryin' to make a livin' isn't supposed to feel like dyin'
no

[Post-Chorus]
E5 G A                             E5 G A
     Supposed to feel like dyin' no

[Verse 2]
E5
Red, blue, right, left,
G                        A
they still workin' us to death
        E5                      G              A
And whatever's left over at the end's to the IRS
E5                       G
Head above water but I'm kickin' like hell
      A
Ain't nobody lookin' out for me but myself
E5                              G
Ain't no gettin' out from under all of these underpaid
A
checks
And last time I checked

[Chorus]
   E5               G            A
Is tryin' to make a livin' isn't supposed to feel like
dyin'
        E5            G
Lookin' for my golden ticket,
      A
