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)
