A                                                      
Please don't get me wrong see 
  E                                   Bm            D E
I forgive you in a song well call the likely lads,
A                              E                
But if its left to you I know exactly what you'd 
                Bm              D E
do with all the dreams we had,

         D                  Dm
Just blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves , 
A                                                    
If that's important to you, 
A       D            Dm 
Its       important to     me
Dm

If you pipe all summer long then get forgiven

In a song well that's a touch my lad,

They sold the rights to all the wrongs 
        E
and when they knew you'd give me songs
         Bm           D E
