The Heist

D G I walked in the bank G The black leather bag Em Tucked tight beneath my arm Am When I pulled that 45 Am I looked into the bankers eyes D Don't you dare pull that alarm

G I screamed hit the floor G A woman screamed please help me Lord Em And I thought about you dear Am If you knew I lost my job and gambled what we've saved and lost D Would you understand all of my fears

Am D For once in my life D Em Can I do this one thing right

G Felt the pressure tight G A weekend man a weekend heist Em A Saturday I'd not forget Am Uncle Sam this money jam you put me in D Took a human life to pay the debt

G I didn't hear the guards outside I heard a scream I turned surprised Em Felt the smoking pistol in my grip Am The gun went off into the soft yellow tie Am D That hung inside beside the banker's chest Am D Em Lived such a short life I hope he'll be alright

Am D Em For once in my life I feel so damned alive
