[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)
