[ G ]

[ G ] one was from the [ C ] east [ D ] the other from the [ Em ] west [ C ]
[ Am ] and I don't claim to [ D ] know either [ Am ] one of them's the [ D ] best
but I [ C ] know an good man [ G ] when I see one

your humour just as [ C ] black [ D ]as the bruises on your [ Em ] arms [ C ]
[ Am ] what you lacked in [ D ] skills you made [ Am ] up for with your [ D ] charms
you [ C ] said it was just some new [ G ] infection

Chorus:
but if the [ D ] two of you had met both your [ Am ] mothers would have [ C ] wept
two peas in a [ G ] pod or just [ D ] two thieves [ C ]
on the nod [ G ]

you stole your [ C ] education [ D ] while the students were [ Em ] asleep [ C ]
you [ Am ] wrapped your history [ D ] up in blankets [ Am ] and sank it in the [ D ] deep
you said [ C ] what's saved was worth per[ G ]fection

you were my [ C ] ambassador [ D ] to a world that didn't [ Em ] care [ C ]
[ Am ] bad luck on your [ D ] side mirrored [ Am ] shades and dirty [ D ] hair
when I [ C ] look all I see is my own [ G ]reflection

Solo
[ G ] [ C ] [ D ] [ Em ] [ C ] [ Am ] [ D ] [ Am ] [ D ] [ C ] [ G ]

well they twitched and they [ C ]winked [ D ]
you would show me we are thick as [ Em ] thieves [ C ]
but [ Am ] you empty out my [ D ] wallet and my [ Am ] ashtray as you [ D ] leave
did you for[ C ]get that I was your only [ G ] friend ?

two months on the [ C ] road [ D ] and I don't know how to say good [ Em ] bye [ C ]
[ Am ]maybe I should [ D ] bury all those [ Am ] memories of [ D ] you
but I don't [ C ] ever want to see them [ G ] die

Chorus
