B/C
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
GD
We all did our best now
GD
We all need to rest now
GD
Leave me alone
GD
We all did our best now
GD
We all need to rest now
GD
Leave me alone
GD
Leave me alone
