A                      Em    A         Dsus2
It seems you've been living on your own

             G  D
Lonely and free

A                Em      Asus4   Dsus2
  Looking to make yourself known

          G  D
Same as me
[Verse 2]
       E7sus4   E#dim7  F#m7
Well I see you in the public eyes

   G                    Bm7
I see you're looking fine

    E7sus4    E#dim7  F#m7
The boy would be a businessman

       Bm7        A       D
And he signs the bottom line
[Chorus]
            A
Singing: "Company man

                        Em  G  D
Do what you can with my name

 A
Rock and roll man, here I am

     E7sus4    E#dim7         F#m7
I'm staking my claim to fame"
[Verse 3]
                G                    Bm7
He's got the smiling face of a friend

              G                    Bm7  F#m7
Still you're not quite certain you know him

    G                  D
The smile turns into a grin

              A/E E  A/E E
What do you owe him?

You know you owe him

So if there's something you do well

                  G    D   A
Something you're proud of

               Em       Asus4    Dsus2
Better to save some for yourself

                 G  D
If that's allowed
[Verse 5]
    E7sus4     E#dim7     F#m7
The crowd will never know you

     G                 Bm7
You hardly know yourself

        E7sus4   E#dim7  F#m7
They'll turn you round and blow you up

          Bm7           A       D
Until you think you're someone else
[Chorus]
A
"Company man

                        Em  G  D
Do what you can with my name

 A
Rock and roll man, here I am

I'm staking my claim to fame"
[Verse 6]
        G                    Bm7
He can turn your time to gold

            G                  Bm7   F#m7
You better make as much as you can my friend

             G                     D
Because his money will turn you old

                  A/E E  A/E E
And they need a young man

               Dsus4     D  C
The job takes a young man
