Intro
Dm*
[Verse 1]
Am G D Em
Passed down from your father,
Am G D Em Dm*
you come by it honestly
Am G D Em
Passed out from exhaustion
Am G D Em Dm*
Looking around for some relief
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
But you, put your money on the wrong horse
D Em
All alone and in the middle of nowhere
Am G
You put your money on the wrong horse
D Em Dm*
Premonitions start to whisper:
[Chorus]
Am G
When you've always been a company man
D Em
But who did you used to be?
Am G
You're out here flying the flag
D Em
But lost track of what it really means
Am G
When you've always been a company man
D Em
Got the ground coming out from underneath
Am G D Em C Bm
Hey company man, start walking on your own two feet!
[Verse 2]
Am G
I get it, I get it, you can eat pretty good
D Em Dm*
But just cause you can doesn't mean that you should
Am G
I get it, I get it, you're just misunderstood
D Em Dm*
You said, "gimmie a minute man, let me explain"
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
But you hitch your wagon to the wrong horse
D Em Dm*
You turned around and asked, "How did we get here?"
Am G
You hitch your wagon to the wrong horse
D Em Dm*
Premonitions start to whisper:
[Chorus]
Am G
When you've always been a company man
D Em
But who did you used to be?
Am G
You're out here flying the flag
D Em
But lost track of what it really means
Am G
When you've always been a company man
D Em
Got the ground coming out from underneath
Am G D Em C Bm
Hey company man, start walking on your own two feet!
