[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
C
We all did our best now
G/B
We all need to rest now
A7
Leave me alone
D7
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
C
We all did our best now
G/B
We all need to rest now
A7
Leave me alone
D7
And wait by the phone
[Break]
Em D/F# G C D/F# G
C G/B C D7
Em D/F# G C D/F# G
C G/B C D
[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
C
We all did our best now
G/B
We all need to rest now
A7
Leave me alone
D7
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 C
Leave me alone
G
We all did our best now
C G
We all need to rest now
C G
Leave me alone
C A7 D7 G
Leave me alone (Ahh-ahhhhhh-ahhhhh)
