Intro
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
Verse 1
[D] [Bm]
Well, I woke up late on Monday morning
[G] [A]
Just in time to work my life away
[D] [Bm]
Another day, another dollar
[G] [A]
At least that's what they always say
Verse 2
[D] [Bm]
Well, there must be holes in both my pockets
[G] [A]
‘Cause I can't find a dime to save
[D] [Bm]
The government takes half my paycheck
[G] [A]
Now that's what I call pocket change
Pre-Chorus
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
Well, I can't take life like this no more
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
So, I think I'll grab my gun and hit the door
Chorus
[G]
‘Cause I'm robbing a bank
[A] [D] [Bm]
Or maybe a convenience store
[G]
And I'm starting to think
[A] [D] [Bm]
Jail would beat sleeping on the floor
[G] [A]
Well at least they get 3 meals a day
[D] [Bm]
It's a win for me either way
[G] [A]
Yeah, I'm robbing a bank
Interlude
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
Verse 3
[D] [Bm]
Well, the AC's broke and the roof is leaking
[G] [A]
Phone bill is higher than my credit score
[D] [Bm]
The Bengals® and the Cats® keep losing
[G] [A]
Can't pick myself up off the floor
Pre-Chorus
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
No, I don't know what else to do
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
Except paint my face to match these oversized shoes
Chorus
[G]
I'm robbing a bank
[A] [D] [Bm]
Or maybe a convenience store
[G]
And I'm starting to think
[A] [D] [Bm]
Jail would beat sleeping on the floor
[G] [A]
Well at least they get 3 meals a day
[D] [Bm]
It's a win for me either way
[G] [A] [D]
Yeah, I'm robbing a bank
[Instrumental Break]

Verse 4
[D] [Bm]
It went down just like I planned it
[G] [A]
I wonder what would Smokey® say
[D] [Bm]
‘Cause I made out just like a bandit
[G] [A]
A big ole house right off the bay
Pre-Chorus
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
Where I sing this song to you
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
From jail cell number 192
Chorus
[G]
Oh, I robbed a bank
[A] [D] [Bm]
Now I'm shopping at the commissary store
[G]
And I sleep with a shank
[A] [D] [Bm]
But at least I'm not sleeping on the floor
[G] [A]
Now I get 3 meals a day
[D] [Bm]
No, I never planned to get away
[G] [A] [D]
Yeah, yeah, I robbed a bank
