[Intro] Cm Ab Bb G Cm Ab G Fm Cm Ab Bb G Ab G Ab G (x2) [Verse 1] And the story goes like this:
Cm                           G
Everything went numb for the money and the guns

    Ab                          Eb
And everytime he'd think it out: "There's nothing to worry about"

Fm              Cm
Get in the van, don't deviate from the plan

   Ab                                 Bb
If everything goes smooth then you'll walk away a rich man"

Cm                 G
So it begins, everybody walks in

      Ab                      Eb                     Fm
Could this be the way or the day that the underdog wins?

                      Cm
I think not, and I'll bet on the feds

  Ab                            Bb
Because the black hat men never wins in the end, so...
[Pre-Chorus] Cm G Ab Bb Fm Cm Ab Bb (x2) [Chorus]
Cm                Ab
Ski mask (Check!), sawed off (Check!)

Eb                                Bb
Guilty conscience, fear of death (Check! check! check!)

Cm                           Ab                   Eb
Everything went numb when he stumbled upon what he thought

                        Bb
Was going to be another means to the end

Cm       G
Silence, sirens

Ab                        Bb
It all went down like his nightmare the night before

Cm
I don't want to hear

Ab
I don't want to be near

Eb                    Bb
I do what I got to do just to keep my nose clean
[Post-Chorus] Cm Bb Ab G Cm Bb Ab G Ab Bb Cm G Ab Bb Cm Cm [Verse 3]
                      Cm
The story doesn't end here

                    G                  Ab
Don't fear for our hero ain't near the end, my friend

      Eb                           Fm
Let's take it back to how it all began:

            Cm
With a proposition

Ab                        Bb
Proposition starts with a capital "P"

       Cm                       G
"Or at least for me" is what he said to himself

       Ab                         Eb
But himself ain't a lot when he's got nothing left

   Fm                   Cm
Of what was once a man, loved and loving

   Ab                        Bb
He took that trip that turns something to nothing
[Bridge]
Cm        Bb
Right and wrong

        Ab                                 Eb                     Fm
There's not a lot a difference when you're singing that poor man's song

         Cm      Ab         G          Cm
And that song it goes just a little like this:

Cm       Bb
Na na na na na na

Ab          G
   Na na na na na na na

Cm          Bb
   Na na na na na na

Ab        G
