G  Cadd9  G  D  Cadd9

G                     Cadd9
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow
G                         D
And so am I, workday passes like molasses in wintertime
Cadd9
But it's July
G                     Cadd9
I'm getting paid by the hour and older by the minute
G                           D
My boss just pushed me over the limit
Cadd9
I'd like to call him something
      G           Cadd9
I think I'll just call it a day
G                            D
Pour me something tall and strong
       Cadd9
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
G                           Cadd9
It's only half past twelve but I don't care
G                           D
It's five o'clock somewhere

Cadd9
This lunch break is gonna take all afternoon
G                          Cadd9
And half the rest of my life
G                        D
Snagged in traffic, I can't wait to get home
        Cadd9
To tell you I was late, I'm sorry
G                            Cadd9
But it's five o'clock somewhere
