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