[Verse 1]
It was an uGpset in two minutes flatC  
We were back on the fGreeway, foot to the matC  
I can't underEmstand it; we had it down pA7at
It's very upCsetting, could we leave it at tDhat?
We all had poGsitions; we each had a rCole
We'd over-reGhearsed it; we had full contCrol
They can't teach you aEmcting, it's there in your sA7oul
It's the same with a bCank job, and each thing we stDole
[Chorus]
So I don't need Emat-D/F#ti - Gtude
'Cause you knew just Cwhat D/F#to   Gdo
We all did our beCst now
We all need to reG/Bst now
Leave me alA7one
Wait by the pD7hone
[Verse 2]
I was the dGriver; you ran the shCow
You had the Glast word, the go or no Cgo
I knew every Emlaneway in OntariA7o
But it's not what you're Csure of, it's what you don't kDsus2now
It should have been fGilled with the usual oCnes
Throwing their cGash into mutual fuCnds
We all had our sEmki masks and sawed-off shotgA7uns
But how do you pClan for a bank full of nDsus2uns?
[Bridge]
Well, I guess we pEmanicked - we D/F#all have taGboos
And they were like Czebras; they D/F#had us conGfused
We should be in cCondos with oceanfront vG/Biews
Instead we're most-Cwanted on the six o'clock nDews
[Chorus]
So I don't need Emat-D/F#ti - Gtude
'Cause you knew just Cwhat D/F#to   Gdo

your crisis of coGnscience; the voice in your braCin

I think we all kCnow who should shoulder the blamDsus2e
'Cause you made a Gchoice there, almost sublCime
I'm all for compGassion, just not on my dCime
You looked like an Emamateur, and that's the real A7crime

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Em D/F# G

So I don't need at-ti - tude

C D/F# G

'Cause you knew just what to do

We all did our best now

G/B

We all need to rest now

Leave me alone

Wait by the phone

[Verse 2]

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 Dsus2

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 Dsus2

But how do you plan for a bank full of nuns?

[Bridge]

Em D/F# G

Well, I guess we panicked - we all have taboos

C D/F# G

And they were like zebras; they had us confused

C G/B

We should be in condos with oceanfront views

C D

Instead we're most-wanted on the six o'clock news

[Chorus]

Em D/F# G

So I don't need at-ti - tude

C D/F# G

'Cause you knew just what to do

We all did our best now

G/B

We all need to rest now

Leave me alone

And wait by the phone

[Break]

[Verse 3]

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 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]

Em D/F# G

And I don't need at-ti - tude

C D/F# G

'Cause you knew just what to do

We all did our best now

We all need to rest now

Leave me alone

There's no need to phone

[Outro]

We all did our best now

C G

We all need to rest now

Leave me alone

We all did our best now

We all need to rest now

Leave me alone

Leave me alone (Ahh-ahhhhhh-ahhhhh)
