Nickelback - Get ‘Em Up

[Verse 1]
E
His driver’s license said James, he went by Jim
Bm
A gangster wannabe, yeah baby, that was him
E
He stole his uncle’s 44 last Friday night
A
Said if I wanted in, we’d have to plan this thing just right
E
We’ll need the gloves, we’ll need the bags, a couple masks
Bm
We’ll need to steal a car with windows tinted black
E
We picked the nearest bank on Main and 17th
A
We wrote down every line from every movie that we’d seen
N.C
Screamin’…

[Pre-Chorus]
Eb5 C#5 C5
This is a robbery, now get down on the floor
Eb5 C#5 C5
We’re here for all the shit that you don’t need no more (Yeah)
Eb5 C#5 C5
We want your cash, open the safe, get off your phone
Eb5 C#5 C5
Don’t be a hero and you might just make it home

[Chorus]
Eb5
Get ‘em up
C#5 C5
And get down
Eb5
Reach for the sky
C#5 C5
Then go ahead and kiss the ground
Eb5
Get ‘em up
C#5 C5
And get down
Eb5
Reach for the sky
C#5 C5
Then go ahead and kiss the ground

[Post-Chorus]
N.C
Get ‘em up
N.C
Get ‘em, get ‘em up

[Verse 2]
E
A freshly stolen Mustang small block 302
Bm
Drove past the bank a dozen times this afternoon
E
The only parking spot was half a block away
A
Gave us time to practice just exactly what to say
N.C
Screamin’…

[Pre-Chorus]
Eb5 C#5 C5
This is a robbery, now get down on the floor
Eb5 C#5 C5
We’re here for all the shit that you don’t need no more (Yeah)
Eb5 C#5 C5
We want your cash, open the safe, get off your phone
Eb5 C#5 C5
Don’t be a hero and you might just make it home

[Chorus]
Eb5
Get ‘em up
C#5 C5
And get down
Eb5
Reach for the sky
C#5 C5
Then go ahead and kiss the ground
Eb5
Get ‘em up
C#5 C5
And get down
Eb5
Reach for the sky
C#5 C5
Then go ahead and kiss the ground

[Post-Chorus]
N.C
Get ‘em up
N.C
Get ‘em, get ‘em up

[Bridge]
E
The only thing I wish that one of us had known
Bm
That it was Sunday and the god damn bank was closed
E
Too bad we didn’t see the cops across the street
A
We dropped our guns and tried to run and there went all our dreams of screamin’…

[Pre-Chorus]
Eb5 C#5 C5
This is a robbery, now get down on the floor
Eb5 C#5 C5
We’re here for all the shit that you don’t need no more (yeah)
Eb5 C#5 C5
We wanted easy street and now we’ll never know
Eb5 C#5 C5
Somebody call my mom and tell her I ain’t coming home

[Chorus]
Eb5
Get ‘em up
C#5 C5
And get down
Eb5
Reach for the sky
C#5 C5
Then go ahead and kiss the ground
Eb5
Get ‘em up
C#5 C5
And get down
Eb5
Reach for the sky
C#5 C5
Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Get ‘em up
