Capo on 2nd Fret


Intro - A5

[verse 1]
A5
Well I'm thinking back
On the damage you've done
      E5
And I knew I couldn't reason with you
So I had to run
       D5
And I ran so far
Fought hard
            A5          E5
To start my life again

      A5
And I guess my mind must be a special kind of garden
        E5
Cos you planted your shit seeds
But they didn't stay rotten
        D5
No they blossomed into flowers
In my brain
        A5          E5
Now I'm paying you for

[chorus]
 A5          E5
A job well done            
                                F#5
When you count the money you'll make
Take a minute, look back on those days
     E5                                             A5
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
           E5
A job well done
                         F#5
No of course nobody's to blame
But everybody's got a claim
                 E5
When it comes to being paid
               A5
For a job well done.

[verse 2]
A5
Now I'm not allowed to tell it
So Ill write it in a song
      E5
And I know that when you hear it
You'll say that I'm wrong
      D5
Cos a man like you
Is blind to the truth
     A5        E5
Your life's a fucking lie

A5
And all those stories you been telling yourself
         E5
When you look at my albums lining up on your shelf
        D5
All the various reasons I owe you, I know you,
A5          E5
Now let me show you

[chorus]
 A5          E5
A job well done            
                                F#5
When you count the money you'll make
Take a minute, look back on those days
     E5                                             A5
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
           E5
A job well done
                         F#5
No of course nobody's to blame
But everybody's got a claim
                 E5
When it comes to being paid
               A5
For a job well done.

[bridge]
A5     F#5
Maybe someday
      E5        D5        E5
You'll realize your mistakes
          F#5            E5              D5    E5
And maybe make yourself accountable for one
         F#5  E5          D5     E5
And they say success has many parents
     F#5    E5      D(hold)  D5 E(hold)
But failure is an orphan

[verse 3]
A5
Well I'm working real hard
Trying to make it make sense
        E5
And I'm looking at my life
And I'm making amends
          D5
For every word I never said
Every thought in my head
      A5      E5
I was so misled

A5
And nothing you say could ever right these wrongs
      E5
And I tell myself its worth it
Cos I got this song
        D5
But its little consolation
For the tears and frustration
A5            E5
The years I wasted on

[chorus]
 A5          E5
A job well done            
                                F#5
When you count the money you'll make
Take a minute, look back on those days
     E5                                             A5
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
           E5
A job well done
                         F#5
No of course nobody's to blame
But everybody's got a claim
                 E5
When it comes to being paid
               A5
For a job well done.
 A5          E5
A job well done            
                         F#5
No of course nobody's to blame
                 E(hold)
When it comes to being paid
               E5 A(hold)
For a job well done
