about

This song is the first part of a story of a man who is tired of his job. In this song, he is trying to walk away from his well paying 9 to 5 job. He reasons with himself and finally decides to leave, despite his uncertainty. This is part 1 and song 2 is part two of the first chapter of his journey. Notice how the songs flow into each other. You might have to download the album to really get the full affect. There is no Auto-tune on this Album. Thanks for listening :)

lyrics

Dm Bb F
I need more than my Nine to Five can offer.
Gm F Dm
Sure it pays the rent but that’s about it.

F Gm Bb Dm
If this is what people call happiness, then I’ve gotta go.
F Gm Bb Dm
I need love. I need faith. And I’ve got something to show

Dm Bb F
I want a life rather than be a drone programmed for the same job every damn day.
Dm Bb F
Work. Work! Well work makes jack a dull boy! Isn’t that what they say?
Gm F
Well I ain’t your average jack, you see.
Em
That life, it ain’t for me.

Dm F
In this world you have to take what you want
Gm Bb Dm
but give everything in re-turn.
F
I have to take my life back
Gm Bb Dm
And start to relearn my dreams.

Dm Bb
And the things that I’ve wanted to be.
F C-- C#
I guess, some would call that free. Oh
Dm Bb
And I hope that someday you will see
F
That I can be something different
Em Dm
Than just me

Instrumental break

Dm F
Tell me who I am and who I’m supposed to become
Gm Dm
Is there a way to find this, without ever leaving home?
f
I feel scared to walk away from this life,
Gm Dm
Even though I know it’s not right

Dm Bb
I must make a journey to find myself
F Gm
Whatever ever it takes and nothing else matters

Dm Bb F Dm
I need more than my Nine to Five can offer.
Gm F Dm
Sure it pays the rent but that’s about it
