Verse:
                                 E        
Please don't get me wrong, See I forgive you with a song,
               Bm        ( D E )   A                            E
We'll call the Likely lads.  But if it's left to you, I know exactly
                           Bm              D E
What you'd do with all the dreams we had.

Pre Chorus:
    D                       Dm             
Cos blood runs thicker, oh, were as thick as thieves you know.
A                                           D
If it's important to you, it's important to me.
                 Dm          B7
I tried to make you see, but you don't want to know.

Verse:
       A                             E
If you pipe all summer long then get forgiven in a song.
              Bm         ( D ) E           A           
Well that's a touch my lad. They sold my rights to all my wrongs,
              E                             Bm               D E
But when they needed the new songs. Welcome back they said.

Pre Chorus:
    D                             Dm      
But blood runs blood thicker, oh, were as thick as thieves you know.
A                                               D
That's important to you, then it's important to me. 
                      ( Dm )  B7                      E                
I tried to make you see but you don't want to know.

Chorus:
A          E              D         A      E           D
Oh, what became of the likely lads? What became of the dreams we had?
A      E          D     A          E          D
What became of forever? Oh, what became of forever? 
                 A
We'll never know.

Verse:
       A                            E
Please don't get me wrong see I forgive you in a song, we'll call,
              Bm         ( D ) E           A
The Likely Lads. We all bought the ones, we taught 'em all,
              E                             Bm              D E 
We wrote the songs that filled the dreams we had.

Pre Chorus:
    D                             Dm
But blood runs blood thicker, oh, were as thick as thieves you know.
A                                               D
That's important to you, then it's important to me. 
                      ( Dm )  B7                     E
I tried to make you see but you don't want to know.

Chorus:
A          E              D         A      E           D
Oh, what became of the likely lads? What became of the dreams we had?
A      E          D     A          E          D
What became of forever? Oh, what became of forever? 
                 A
We'll never know.
                 A
We'll never know.
