Two Thieves
G
G C D Em C
one was from the east the other from the west
Am D Am D
and I don't claim to know either one of them's the best
C G
but I know an good man when I see one
C D Em C
your humour just as black as the bruises on your arms
Am D Am D
what you lacked in skills you made up for with your charms
C G
you said it was just some new infection
Chorus:
D Am C
but if the two of you had met both your mothers would have wept
G D C
two peas in a pod or just two thieves
G
on the nod
C D Em C
you stole your education while the students were asleep
Am D Am D
you wrapped your history up in blankets and sank it in the deep
C G
you said what's saved was worth perfection
C D Em C
you were my ambassador to a world that didn't care
Am D Am D
bad luck on your side mirrored shades and dirty hair
C G
when I look all I see is my own reflection

C D
well they twitched and they winked
Em C
you would show me we are thick as thieves
Am D Am D
but you empty out my wallet and my ashtray as you leave
C G
did you forget that I was your only friend ?
C D Em C
two months on the road and I don't know how to say good bye
Am D Am D
maybe I should bury all those memories of you
C G
but I don't ever want to see them die
Chorus
