Verse:
                                 E5        
Please don't get me wrong, See I forgive you with a song,
               B5        ( D5 E5 )   A5                            E5
We'll call the Likely lads.  But if it's left to you, I know exactly
                           B5              D5 E5
What you'd do with all the dreams we had.

Pre Chorus:
    D5                       D5             
Cos blood runs thicker, oh, were as thick as thieves you know.
A5                                           D5
If it's important to you, it's important to me.
                 D5          B5
I tried to make you see, but you don't want to know.

Verse:
       A5                             E5
If you pipe all summer long then get forgiven in a song.
              B5         ( D5 ) E5           A5           
Well that's a touch my lad. They sold my rights to all my wrongs,
              E5                             B5               D5 E5
But when they needed the new songs. Welcome back they said.

Pre Chorus:
    D5                             D5      
But blood runs blood thicker, oh, were as thick as thieves you know.
A5                                               D5
That's important to you, then it's important to me. 
                      ( D5 )  B5                      E5                
I tried to make you see but you don't want to know.

Chorus:
A5          E5              D5         A5      E5           D5
Oh, what became of the likely lads? What became of the dreams we had?
A5      E5          D5     A5          E5          D5
What became of forever? Oh, what became of forever? 
                 A5
We'll never know.

Verse:
       A5                            E5
Please don't get me wrong see I forgive you in a song, we'll call,
              B5         ( D5 ) E5           A5
The Likely Lads. We all bought the ones, we taught 'em all,
              E5                             B5              D5 E5 
We wrote the songs that filled the dreams we had.

Pre Chorus:
    D5                             D5
But blood runs blood thicker, oh, were as thick as thieves you know.
A5                                               D5
That's important to you, then it's important to me. 
                      ( D5 )  B5                     E5
I tried to make you see but you don't want to know.

A5      E5          D5     A5          E5          D5
What became of forever? Oh, what became of forever? 
                 A5
We'll never know.
                 A5
We'll never know.
