Intro: D Cadd9 D x4



D                             Cadd9         D

Once there was a crooked man, living in the shadows

D                        Cadd9             D

Made a living pilfering, anything the wind blew in

D                              Cadd9           D

Now he's turning on the charm, working for the counting house

D                          Cadd9          D

Now he is an honest thief, winning smile, perfect teeth





Chorus:

D                                                    Cadd9   D 

Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones

D                                                 Cadd9 D

Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes

D                                                    Cadd9   D

Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones

D                                                 Cadd9 D 

Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes





D Cadd9 D x4



D                             Cadd9              D

Once there was a crooked man, spouting all about one for all

D                            Cadd9                D

Watching all our wages fall, holding tight to his bonus ball

D                              Cadd9            D

Now he's turning on the charm, in the bank that we restored

D                            Cadd9                 D

Now he sits on his fat arse, selling the dreams we can't afford





Chorus:

D                                                    Cadd9   D 

Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones

D                                                 Cadd9 D

Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes

D                                                    Cadd9   D

Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones

D                                                 Cadd9 D 

Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
