{comment: Verse 1}
[G]It was an up[C]set in two minutes flat
[G]We were back on the freeway, [C]foot to the mat
[Em]I can't understand it; [A7]we had it down pat
[C]It's very upsetting, [D]could we leave it at that?
[G]We all had posi[C]tions; we each had a role
[G]We'd over-rehearsed it; [C]we had full control
[Em]They can't teach you acting, [A7]it's there in your soul
[C]It's the same with a bank job, [D]and each thing we stole
{start_of_chorus}
[Em]So I don't need [D/F#]at-ti-[G]tude
[C]'Cause you knew just [D/F#]what to [G]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
{end_of_chorus}
{comment: Verse 2}
[G]I was the driver; [C]you ran the show
[G]You had the last word, [C]the go or no go
[Em]I knew every laneway [A7]in Ontario
[C]But it's not what you're sure of, [Dsus2]it's what you don't know
[G]It should have been filled with [C]the usual ones
[G]Throwing their cash into [C]mutual funds
[Em]We all had our ski masks and [A7]sawed-off shotguns
[C]But how do you plan for a [Dsus2]bank full of nuns?

[Em]Well, I guess we panicked - [D/F#]we all have [G]taboos
[C]And they were like zebras; [D/F#]they had us con[G]fused
[C]We should be in condos with [G/B]oceanfront views
[C]Instead we're most-wanted on the [D]six o'clock news
{start_of_chorus}
[Em]So I don't need [D/F#]at-ti-[G]tude
[C]'Cause you knew just [D/F#]what to [G]do

[G/B]We all need to rest now
[A7]Leave me alone
[D7]And wait by the phone

{comment: Verse 3}
[G]Inside the police car [C]you tried to explain
[G]your crisis of conscience; [C]the voice in your brain
[Em]And now that the whole thing has [A7]gone down the drain
[C]I think we all know who should [Dsus2]shoulder the blame
[G]'Cause you made a choice there, [C]almost sublime
[G]I'm all for compassion, [C]just not on my dime
[Em]You looked like an amateur, [A7]and that's the real crime
[C]So I'll take a walk now, [Dsus2]and you do the time
{start_of_chorus}
[Em]And I don't need [D/F#]at-ti-[G]tude
[C]'Cause you knew just [D/F#]what to [G]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
