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
