[Verse 1]
      Dm                       F              C
Where beggars take cheques and children steal credit cards
         Am                     Dm
From the pockets of wrecks that lie in the road
  Dm                       F             C
I came to in my future and that was just yesterday
   Am                      Dm
Unsure of my past that's a knot in my gut
 
[Verse 2]
    Dm                      F                 C
You buy me a drink then you think that you've got the right
   Am                   Dm
To crawl in my head and rifle my soul
    Dm                       F           C
You tell me I'm free then you want me to compromise
    Am                               Dm
To sell out my dreams you say you'll make it worthwhile
 
[Chorus]
Bb  Am             Gm          F
Oh, boys would you drink to me now
Gm          F             C           Dm
Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down
Bb  Am             Gm          F
Oh, boys would you drink to me now
Gm          F             C           Dm
Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down
 
[Verse 3]
    Dm                         F              C
You tell me I'm drunk then you stand back and smug a while
   Am                                   Dm
Convinced that you're right that you're still in command
      Dm                        F        C
of your senses. I laugh at your superior attitude
     Am                    Dm
Your insincere plattitudes make me throw up
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm             Am          Bb        F
The sooner you realise I'm perfectly happy
       Gm       F         C         Dm
If I'm left to decide the company I choose
 
[Chorus]
Bb  Am             Gm          F
Oh, boys would you drink to me now
Gm          F             C           Dm
Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down
Dm       C          Bb          Am
Oh for the company, born to the company
Gm           F       C       Dm
Live for the company until I die

[Pre-Chorus]
    Dm         Am          Bb        F
The sooner you realise I'm perfectly happy
       Gm        F        C         Dm
If I'm left to decide the company I choose
 
[Verse 4]
    Dm                  F       C
The company I choose is solidly singular
Am                   Dm
Totally trustworthy, straight and sincere
Dm                     F           C
Polished, experienced, witty and charming
   Am                           Dm
So why don't you push off, this company's my own
 
[Chorus]
Bb  Am             Gm          F
Oh, boys would you drink to me now
Gm          F             C           Dm
Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down
Bb  Am             Gm          F
Oh, boys would you drink to me now
Gm          F             C           Dm
Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down
Dm         C        Bb           F
Oh for the company, dream of the company
Gm           F       C       Dm
Live for the company until I die
Dm         C        Bb           F
Oh for the company, dream of the company
Gm           F       C        Dm
Drink to the company until we die
Dm      C      Bb       F
                            Until we
Gm      F      C        Dm
die                       Until we
 
[Outro]
Dm  C Bb F
die.
