Part 1
[A(1)] Times were so tough,
[D6] But not as tough as they are now.

[A(1)] We were so close,

No [G#]personal situ[E]ations

Part 2
[A(1)] Thick as thieves us,
[D6] We'll stick together for all time,
Fill 1
[A] And we meant it,
[D5] But it turned out just for a [F#m]while,
We [B(1)]stole,
The [G#]friendship that bound us to[E]gether.
Fill 2
Part 3
We [A(1)]stole from the schools and their [E]libraries,
We [A(1)]stole from the drugs that sent[E] us to sleep,
We [A(1)]stole from the drink that m[E]ade us sick,
We stole [A(1)]anything that [E]we couldn't keep,
And it [F#m]was enough,
We [G#m]didn't have to spoil [A]anything,
We'd [B]allways be,
As thick as thieves.
Fill 1
Part 4
[C#m] Like a perfect stra[G#5]nger,[A] [B(1)]
[C#m] You came into my [G#5]life.[A] [B(1)]
[C#m] And like a perfect l[A]one ranger,
[B]Rode away, rode away,
run away, run away.
Part 5
(Instrumental)
Play the same as part 1+2
Part 6
We stole the [A(1)]love from young girls in iv[E]ory towers,
We stole [A(1)]autumn leaves and [E]summer showers,
We stole the [A(1)]sun and the wind that says y[E]ou are free,
We stole [A(1)]eveyrthing that [E]we could see,
But it [F#m]wasn't enough,
And [G#m]now we've gone and spoilt[A] everything,
Now [B]we're no longer,
As thick as thieves.
Part 7
[C#m] [G#5] [A] [B(1)]
[C#m] You came into my [G#5]life[A] [B(1)]
[C#m]And like a perfect st[A]ranger,
[B]Walked away, walked away
G#5 (Strum fast)
Walked away, walked away
Part 8
Same as part 2
Part 9
We stole the burning sun in the open sky,
We stole the twinkling stars in the black night,
We stole the green belt they made us believe,
We stole everything that we could see,
But something came along and changed our minds,
Now I don't know what and know why,
But we seemed to grow up in a flash of time,
As we watched our ideals heplessly unwind.
[A(1)]We're no longer as [E]thick as thieves, no,
[A(1)]We're not as thick as we u[E]sed to be, no,
[A(1)]We're no longer as [E]thick as thieves, no,
[A(1)]We're not as thick as we u[E]sed to be,
No it [F#m]wasn't enough,
And [G#m]now we've gone and spoilt[A] everything,
Now [B]we're no longer,
As thick as thieves.
