Bank Job

Chords
pin

Intro:
G C x2

	G				C
It was an upset in two minutes flat
	G				C
We were back on the freeway, foot to the mat
	Em				A7
I can't understand it; we had it down pat
	C				D
It's very upsetting, could we leave it at that?
	G				C
We all had positions; we each had a role
	G				C
We'd over-rehearsed it; we had full control
	Em				A7
They can't teach you acting, it's there in your soul
	C				D
It's the same with a bank job, and each thing we stole

  		Em F#/D G
So I don't need attitude
                    Em F#/D G
Cause you knew just what to do
		C
We all did our best now
		B/C
We all need to rest now
		A7
Leave me alone
		D
Wait by the phone

	G			C
I was the driver; you ran the show
	G			C
You had the last word, the go or no go
	Em			A7
I knew every laneway in Ontario
			C				D
But it's not what you're sure of, it's what you don't know
			G			C
It should have been filled with the usual ones
		G		  C
Throwing their cash into mutual funds
		Em		             A7
We all had our ski masks and sawed-off shotguns
		C			 D
But how do you plan for a bank full of nuns?

		G			    C
Well, I guess we panicked - we all have taboos
		G			    C
And they were like zebras; they had us confused
		Em			 A7
We should be in condos with oceanfront views
		C			       D
Instead we're most-wanted on the six o'clock news

  		Em F#/D G
So I don't need attitude
 		Em F#/D G
Cause you knew just what to do
		C
We all did our best now
		B/C
We all need to rest now
	  A7
Leave me alone
		 D
And wait by the phone

Break:
Em F#/D G C F#/D 
C B/C C D x2


  	    G				C
Inside the police car you tried to explain
	        G				C
your crisis of conscience; the voice in your brain
		  Em				  A7
And now that the whole thing has gone down the drain
		C				D
I think we all know who should shoulder the blame
		G			C
Cause you made a choice there, almost sublime
		G			C
I'm all for compassion, just not on my dime
		Em				A7
You looked like an amateur, and that's the real crime
		C			  D
So I'll take a walk now, and you do the time

   		 Em F#/D G
And I don't need attitude
		    Em F# G
Cause you knew just what to do
		C
We all did our best now
		B/C
We all need to rest now
	  A7
Leave me alone
		    D
There's no need to phone


G D
    We all did our best now
G D
    We all need to rest now
G D
   Leave me alone
G D
   We all did our best now
G D
   We all need to rest now
G D
   Leave me alone
G D
   Leave me alone
