[ G5 ]

[ G5 ] one was from the [ C5 ] east [ D5 ] the other from the [ E5 ] west [ C5 ]
[ A5 ] and I don't claim to [ D5 ] know either [ A5 ] one of them's the [ D5 ] best
but I [ C5 ] know an good man [ G5 ] when I see one

your humour just as [ C5 ] black [ D5 ]as the bruises on your [ E5 ] arms [ C5 ]
[ A5 ] what you lacked in [ D5 ] skills you made [ A5 ] up for with your [ D5 ] charms
you [ C5 ] said it was just some new [ G5 ] infection

Chorus:
but if the [ D5 ] two of you had met both your [ A5 ] mothers would have [ C5 ] wept
two peas in a [ G5 ] pod or just [ D5 ] two thieves [ C5 ]
on the nod [ G5 ]

you stole your [ C5 ] education [ D5 ] while the students were [ E5 ] asleep [ C5 ]
you [ A5 ] wrapped your history [ D5 ] up in blankets [ A5 ] and sank it in the [ D5 ] deep
you said [ C5 ] what's saved was worth per[ G5 ]fection

you were my [ C5 ] ambassador [ D5 ] to a world that didn't [ E5 ] care [ C5 ]
[ A5 ] bad luck on your [ D5 ] side mirrored [ A5 ] shades and dirty [ D5 ] hair
when I [ C5 ] look all I see is my own [ G5 ]reflection

Solo
[ G5 ] [ C5 ] [ D5 ] [ E5 ] [ C5 ] [ A5 ] [ D5 ] [ A5 ] [ D5 ] [ C5 ] [ G5 ]

well they twitched and they [ C5 ]winked [ D5 ]
you would show me we are thick as [ E5 ] thieves [ C5 ]
but [ A5 ] you empty out my [ D5 ] wallet and my [ A5 ] ashtray as you [ D5 ] leave
did you for[ C5 ]get that I was your only [ G5 ] friend ?

two months on the [ C5 ] road [ D5 ] and I don't know how to say good [ E5 ] bye [ C5 ]
[ A5 ]maybe I should [ D5 ] bury all those [ A5 ] memories of [ D5 ] you
but I don't [ C5 ] ever want to see them [ G5 ] die

Chorus
