Thick As Thieves Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Times were so [C]tough,
but not as tough as they are [G]now[A][G]
We were so [C]close and nothing came between [Em]us,
and the [A]world
No [F#]personal [D]situ[G]ations
Thick as thieves us,
[C]we'd stick together for all tim[G]e[A][G]
And we meant [C]it but it turns
out just for a [Em]while
We [A]stole, [F#]the friendship that
bound us together
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]We stole from the schools
and their [D]libraries
[G]We stole from the drugs
that sen[D]t us to sleep
[G]We stole from the drink
that [D]made us sick
We stole [G]anything that [D]we couldn't keep
And it [Em]was enough,
we [F#m]did n't have to spoil an[G]ything
And [A]always be as thick as thieves

[Interlude 1]
[G]
[Bm]
Like a perfect [G]stranger,

[Verse 3]
[Bm]you came into my life[D]
[Bm]Then like the perfect lone[G] ranger,
you [A]rode away, rode away
[F#]Rode away, rode away

[Interlude 2]
[G][C]
[G]
[C][Em][A][F#]
[D]

[Verse 4]
We stole the [G]love from young
girls in [D]ivory towers
We stole [G]autumn leaves and
sum[D]mer showers
We stole [G]the silent wind that
says [D]you are free
We stole [G]everything that [D]we could see
But it [Em]wasn't enough,
and [F#m]now we've gone and spoiled ev[G]erything
Now [A]we're no longer as thick
as thieves
[Bm][G]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]You came into my life[D]
[Bm]Then like a perfect stra[G]nger you walke[A]d away,
walked away
[G]Walked [F#]away, [G]wal[F#]ked away[G]

[Verse 6]
Thick as thieves [C]us,
we'd stick together for all [G]time
And we meant [C]it but it
turns out just for [Em]awhile
We [A]stole [F#]the friendship that
bound us together
[D]

[Verse 7]
We stole [G]the burning sun
in the [D]open sky
We stole the [G]twinkling
stars in the [D]black night
We stole [G]the green belt fields
that made [D]us believe
We stole [G]everything that [D]we could see

[Verse 8]
But [G]something came along that [D]changes our minds
(we're no longer thick as thieves)
I don't [G]know what and I don't [D]know why
(we're not thick as we used to be)
But [G]we seemed to grow up in [D]a flash of
time (we're no longer thick as thieves)
While [G]we watched our ideals [D]helplessly unwind
(we're not thick as we used to [G]be)

[Verse 9]
No, we're no longer as [D]thick as thieves,
no
[G]We're not as thick as we [D]used to be,
no
[G]We're no longer as [D]thick as thieves,
no
[G]We're not as thick as we [D]used to be

[Verse 10]
No [Em]it wasn't enough,
and [F#]now we've [F#m]gone and s[G]poiled everything
Now [A]we're no longer as thick [G]as thieves
[D]
