Job Well Done Tab

by Terra Naomi



If they are wrong, please tell me. First tab ever...though I'm pretty much cheating. 

I got the lyrics straight from the video, as well.

Capo on 2nd Fret

Intro-

[verse 1]

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

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

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

[verse 2]

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


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

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



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

[verse 3]

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


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

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