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