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

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
