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