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
