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