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 Solo GCDECAm DADCG  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 http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/compulsive_gamblers/bio.jhtml
