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