Company Car Switchfoot
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).
Mike was ri[E]ght when he said I'd put up
A fi[A]ght to be so[E]meone, a f[A]ight to be [B]me
But see n[E]ow, I'm down
Under the pavement
Of cap[A]ital hi[E]lls and low[A]ercase peo[B]ple
As t[C#]ime rolls [A]by my d[F#]reams have be[B]come
That w[G#]hich is attai[C#]nable
N[B]ot what I'm looking for!
I[E]'ve got the co[B]mpany c[C#]ar[G] [G#] [A]
I'm the one sw[E]inging at t[G#]wo below p[A]ar[C]
Yeah, I've become o[E]ne with the o[B]nes
That I've ne[C#]ver bel[A]ieved in
But I[E]'ve got the co[G#]mpany c[A]ar
I'm the k[E]ing of things I've always despised
I'm the gin[A]gerbread m[E]an
who got ea[A]ten ali[B]ve
I'm half-b[E]aked! I'm fake!
But see I've got hotels on
Park[A] Place and Bo[E]ardwalk
And [A]two hundred b[B]ucks
I pass [C#]go but, [A]oh! Life's t[F#]aken its t[B]oll
Have [G#]I won Mon[C#]opoly to f[B]orfiet my soul?

[B]All the king's h[C#]orses
At the f[Bb]oot of the w[C]all
T[A]hey're taking pic[B]tures of
The m[G#]an who's lost a[Bb]ll of his
M[A]asks of pretension
He's got t[E]wo faces left
[A]His is the one that he h[F#]ides
On the l[A]eft 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
Mike was rig[E]ht:
"Hey Mike! We're one and the same;
we're the f[A]aceless comba[E]tants
in the lo[A]nliest ga[B]me"
Ah but s[C#]ay, I'll w[A]ave as I[F#]'m driving [B]by
With that s[G#]mirk in my e[C#]ye, yelling
"[B]Hey! I'm something man, check me out!"
I[E]'ve got the co[B]mpany c[C#]ar[G] [G#] [A]

That I've ne[C#]ver bel[A]ieved in
But I[E]'ve got the co[G#]mpany c[A]ar
But I[E]'ve got the co[G#]mpany c[A]ar
[E] [G#] [A] [G#] [F#]
[F#]But[G#] I'[A]ve got the company car
