Finally got that promotion I worked hard to get
                     C       D
One that came with a company car

When they gave me the keys they said son you can bet

Intro

Verse:
My good friends come around to hang out now and then
And they joke, man you've sure got it hard
With this house on the hill and a white picket fence
And the grass sure is green in the yard

Chorus

Solo (Verse chords)

Verse:
Well I squandered my time trying to buy everything
Gave her all that I thought she deserved
Now I know all the things that she wanted were free
And I should have been home holdin' her
