Standard (EADGBE)

The sun is coming up I gotta drag my butt out of bed

My phone is ringing boss is screaming "Where the hell you at?"

I grab a cup of coffee

Tell him it won't be too long

But he don't know I'm waiting for something better to come along

(Chorus)

There's gotta be something better than 9 to 5

Every day barely gettin' by

Working, slaving, always aching

Way too young for my back to be breaking

Waiting on that rainbow

Tell me where's that pot of gold?

Everyone is laughing from a distance when they see me clocking in

Well they'll all be here in 20 years

Cussing about the same old things

They stay there like a slave and wake up at the break of dawn

They don't know I'm waiting for something better to come along

Chorus

Chorus

Well I take her out on Friday

because my baby likes to paint the town

The way she treats her man makes me think about settling down

I told her that I love her

She said let's just hold on

Man I think she's waiting on something better to come along

Yeah

Here she comes

Ah let's go
