 Verse 1:
 
 E         D               E      D 
 Up every morning just to keep a job
          E        D               E        D 
 I gotta fight my way through the hustlin' mob
  E             D            E      D   
 Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
        E           D             E   
 While another day goes down the drain
 
 Chorus 1:
 
             A            D              A       D   
 But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
 A             D           A  D 
 Noone owns a piece of my time
                A           D     A        D    
 And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
 A                              B        
 Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah
 
 E   D     E    D    E  D E D 
 Adaladee-hee, hee, yeah
 
 Verse 2:
 
 Tradin' my time for the pay I get
 Livin' on money that I ain't made yet
 Gotta keep goin', gotta make my way
 But I live for the end of the day
 
 Chorus 2:
 
 But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
 Noone owns a piece of my time
 And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
 To ease my troubled mind, yeah
 
 Adaladee-hee, hee, yeah
 
 Verse 3:
 
 In the shelter of her arms everythings OK
 She talks and the world goes slippin' away (it slips away)
 And I know the reason I can still go on
 When every other is gone
 
 Chorus 3:
 
 In my five o'clock world she waits for me
 Nothing else matters at all
 'Cause every time my baby smiles at me
 I know that its all worthwhile, yeah
 
       repeat to fade 
 Coda: 
 
 E   D     E    D    E  D E D 
 Adaladee-hee, hee, yeah
