It sounds best using the barr chords for most of the chords except in verse when going
A to normal E chord (i.e. fight to be someone) and also in the chorus going from A to E
I'm the one swinging).
E
Mike was right when he said I'd put up
A E A B
A fight to be someone, a fight to be me
E
But see now, I'm down
Under the pavement
A E A B
Of capital hills and lowercase people
C# A F# B
As time rolls by my dreams have become
G# C#
That which is attainable
B
Not what I'm looking for!
E B C# G G# A
I've got the company car
E G# A C
I'm the one swinging at two below par
E B
Yeah, I've become one with the ones
C# A
That I've never believed in
E G# A
But I've got the company car
E
I'm the king of things I've always despised
A E
I'm the gingerbread man
A B
who got eaten alive
E
I'm half-baked! I'm fake!
But see I've got hotels on
A E
Park Place and Boardwalk
A B
And two hundred bucks
C# A F# B
I pass go but, oh! Life's taken its toll
G# C# B
Have I won Monopoly to forfiet my soul?
E B C# G G# A
I've got the company car
E G# A C
I'm the one swinging at two below par
E B
Yeah, I've become one with the ones
C# A
That I've never believed in
E G# A
But I've got the company car
B C#
All the king's horses
Bb C
At the foot of the wall
A B
They're taking pictures of
G# Bb
The man who's lost all of his
A
Masks of pretension
E
He's got two faces left
A F#
His is the one that he hides
A
On the left behind that smile...
No guitar for 1st half of this verse:
Hiding tears and fear
That burns like an engine
It drives him away
From the ones that he loves
E
Mike was right:
"Hey Mike! We're one and the same;
A E
we're the faceless combatants
A B
in the lonliest game"
C# A F# B
Ah but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by
G# C#
With that smirk in my eye, yelling
B
"Hey! I'm something man, check me out!"
E B C# G G# A
I've got the company car
E G# A C
I'm the one swinging at two below par
E B
Yeah, I've become one with the ones
C# A
That I've never believed in
E G# A
But I've got the company car
E G# A
But I've got the company car
E G# A G# F#
F# G# A
But I've got the company car
