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