Bank Job [G] - Barenaked Ladies
[Intro]
(Hold [G] and fingerpick top 3 strings in 6/8)
G C G C
It was an upset in two minutes flat 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 G C
We all had positions; we each had a role 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
|[Chorus]
| Em D G
|So I don't need at - ti - tude
| C D G
|'Cause you knew just what to do
| C G
|We all did our best now. We all need to rest now
| A7 D7
|Leave me alone. Wait by the phone
G C G C
I was the driver; you ran the show. You had the last word, the go or no go
Em A7
I knew every laneway in Ontario.
C Dsus2
But it's not what you're sure of, it's what you don't know
G C G C
It should have been filled with the usual ones. Throwing their cash into mutual funds
Em A7
We all had our ski masks and sawed-off shotguns
C Dsus2
But how do you plan for a bank full of nuns?
[Bridge]
Em D G C D G
Well, I guess we panicked - we all have taboos. And they were like zebras; they had us confused
C G
We should be in condos with ocean-front views
C D
Instead we're most-wanted on the six o'clock news
[Chorus]
[Break]
Em D G C D G
C G C D7
Em D G C D G
C G C D
G C G C
Inside the police car you tried to explain your crisis of conscience; the voice in your brain
Em A7
And now that the whole thing has gone down the drain
C Dsus2
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 Dsus2
So I'll take a walk now, and you do the time
[Chorus]
A7 D7
(Replace last line with) Leave me alone there's no need to phone
|[Outro]
|G C G
| We all did our best now
|C G
| We all need to rest now
|C G
| Leave me alone
|x2
A7 D7 G
Leave me alone (Ohh-ohhhhhh-ahhhhh)

Verse 1:
Am
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
Dm
I said don`t mind but what do you mean, I am the one
Am
Who will dance on the floor in the round
Dm
She said I am the one
Am
Who will dance on the floor in the round?
Am
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene.
Am
Then ev`ry head turned with eyes that dreamed

Of being the one,
Am
Who will dance on the floor in the round

Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
[G] Bows and [Am] flows of [C] angel [G] hair,
And ice cream [Bm] castles [C] in the [G] air,
And feather [C] canyons [Am] everywhere;
I‘ve looked at clouds that [D] way.
But [G] now they [Am] only [C] block the [G] sun,
They rain and [Bm] snow on [C] every[G]one,
So many [C] things I [Am] would have done,
but clouds got in the [D] way.
I‘ve [G] looked at [Am] clouds from [C] both sides [G] now,
From [C] up and [G] down, and [C] still some[G]how
It‘s [Bm] cloud‘s ill[C]usions [G] I recall
I [C] really don‘t know [D] clouds [D7-alt] [D] at [G] all. [Am] [G] [D]
[G] Moons and [Am] Junes and [C] Ferris [G] wheels,
The dizzy [Bm] dancing [C] way you [G] feel
When every [C] fairy [Am] tale comes real;
I‘ve looked at love that [D] way.
But [G] now it‘s [Am] just a[C]nother [G] show,
You leave them [Bm] laughing [C] when you [G] go,
And if you [C] care don‘t [Am] let them know,
don‘t give yourself a[D]way.
I‘ve [G] looked at [Am] love from [C] both sides [G] now,
From [C] give and [G] take, and [C] still some[G]how
It‘s [Bm] love‘s ill[C]usions [G] I recall
I [C] really don‘t know [D] love [D7^2] [D] at [G] all. [Am] [G] [D]
[G] Tears and [Am] fears and [C] feeling [G] proud,
To say “I [Bm] love you” [C] right out [G] loud;
Dreams and [C] schemes and [Am] circus crowds;
I‘ve looked at life that [D] way.
But [G] now old [Am] friends are [C] acting [G] strange,
They shake their [Bm] heads; they [C] say I‘ve [G] changed
But something‘s [C] lost and [Am] something‘s gained in living every [D] day
I‘ve [G] looked at [Am] life from [C] both sides [G] now,
From [C] win and [G] lose, and [C] still some[G]how
It‘s [Bm] life‘s ill[C]usions [G] I recall
I [C] really don‘t know [G] life [Am] [D] at [D7] [G] all.

He said [C] Thanks for the ball Dad come [G] on let's play
[G] Can you teach me to throw I said [Bb] not today

And he [F] walked away but his [Dm] smile never dimmed
And said [Bb] I'm gonna [Dm] be like [G] him yeah
You [Bb] know I'm gonna [Dm] be like [G] him
Chorus:
[G] Well he came from college just the [Bb] other day
So [C] much like a man I just [G] had to say
[G] Son I'm proud of you can you [Bb] sit for a while
He [C] shook his head and [G] he said with a smile
What I'd [F] really like Dad is to [Dm] borrow the car keys
[Bb] See you [Dm] later can I [G] have them please
Chorus:
[G] I've long since retired my [Bb] son's moved away
I [C] called him up just the [G] other day
I said I'd [G] like to see you if [Bb] you don't mind
He said I'd [C] love to Dad if I could [G] find the time
You see my [F] new job's a hassle and the [Dm] kids have the flu
But it's [Bb] sure nice [Dm] talking to [G] you Dad
It's been [Bb] sure nice [Dm] talking to [G] you
And as I [F] hung up the phone it o[Dm]ccurred to me
He'd [Bb] grown up [Dm] just like [G] me my [Bb] boy was [Dm] just like [G] me
|Outro Chorus:
|And the [G] cat's in the cradle and the [F] silver spoon
|[Bb] Little boy blue and the [C] man in the moon
|[G] When you comin' home son I [F] don't know when
|But [Bb] we'll get to[Dm]gether [G] then dad
|You [Bb] know we'll have a [Dm] good time [G] then
