Capo on 2nd Fret


Intro - A

[verse 1]
A
Well I'm thinking back
On the damage you've done
      E
And I knew I couldn't reason with you
So I had to run
       D
And I ran so far
Fought hard
            A          E
To start my life again

      A
And I guess my mind must be a special kind of garden
        E
Cos you planted your shit seeds
But they didn't stay rotten
        D
No they blossomed into flowers
In my brain
        A          E
Now I'm paying you for

[chorus]
 A          E
A job well done            
                                F#m
When you count the money you'll make
Take a minute, look back on those days
     E                                             A
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
           E
A job well done
                         F#m
No of course nobody's to blame
But everybody's got a claim
                 E
When it comes to being paid
               A
For a job well done.

[verse 2]
A
Now I'm not allowed to tell it
So Ill write it in a song
      E
And I know that when you hear it
You'll say that I'm wrong
      D
Cos a man like you
Is blind to the truth
     A        E
Your life's a fucking lie

A
And all those stories you been telling yourself
         E
When you look at my albums lining up on your shelf
        D
All the various reasons I owe you, I know you,
A          E
Now let me show you

[chorus]
 A          E
A job well done            
                                F#m
When you count the money you'll make
Take a minute, look back on those days
     E                                             A
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
           E
A job well done
                         F#m
No of course nobody's to blame
But everybody's got a claim
                 E
When it comes to being paid
               A
For a job well done.

[bridge]
A     F#m
Maybe someday
      E        D        E
You'll realize your mistakes
          F#m            E              D    E
And maybe make yourself accountable for one
         F#m  E          D     E
And they say success has many parents
     F#m    E      D(hold)  D E(hold)
But failure is an orphan

[verse 3]
A
Well I'm working real hard
Trying to make it make sense
        E
And I'm looking at my life
And I'm making amends
          D
For every word I never said
Every thought in my head
      A      E
I was so misled

A
And nothing you say could ever right these wrongs
      E
And I tell myself its worth it
Cos I got this song
        D
But its little consolation
For the tears and frustration
A            E
The years I wasted on

[chorus]
 A          E
A job well done            
                                F#m
When you count the money you'll make
Take a minute, look back on those days
     E                                             A
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
           E
A job well done
                         F#m
No of course nobody's to blame
But everybody's got a claim
                 E
When it comes to being paid
               A
For a job well done.
