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
