  • Tuning: Standard
     
    (There are various versions of this song, and Riffs 1 & 2 are
  • somewhat interchangeable, but I'm gonna write it how I learned it)
    Also, some of the measures below are different lengths, please
    ignore that point. The whole song is in 4/4 time, and I simply
  • made some measures shorter or longer to accomodate the space
    needed. Note that the '|' indicates the end of a measure.

    below are the lyrics and the riffs above about where they
  • go. I didn't have the patience to do the whole song this way.
    Besides, I gave you the whole song above, so work with that.
     
  • Riff 2 Riff 1
    Times were so tough, but not as tough as they are now,
    Riff 2 F#m
  • We were so close and nothing came between us
    Bm G#m E
    and the world -No personal situations.
  •  
    Riff 2 Riff 1
    Thick as thieves us, we'd stick together for all time,
  • Riff 2 F#m
    And we meant it but it turns out just for a while,
    Bm G#m E
  • We stole - the friendship that bound us together -
     
    A E
  • We stole from the schools and their libraries,
    A E
    We stole from the drugs that sent us to sleep,
  • A E
    We stole from the drink that made us sick,
    A E
  • We stole anything that we couldn't keep,
    F#m G#m A
    And it was enough - we didn't have to spoil anything,
  • B B
    And always be as thick as thieves.
     
  • Riff 1: x2
     
    C#m A A B C#m E E B
  • Like a perfect stranger - you came into my life,
    C#m A B B
    Then like the perfect lone ranger - you rode away - rode away,
  • G#m G#m
    Rode away - rode away.
     
  • A E
    We stole the love from young girls in ivory towers,
    A E
  • We stole autumn leaves and summer showers,
    A E
    We stole the silent wind that says you are free,
  • A E
    We stole everything that we could see,
    F#m G#m A
  • But it wasn't enough - and now we've gone and spoiled everthing,
    B B
    Now we're no longer as thick as thieves.
  •  
    You came into my life -
    Then like a perfect stranger you walked away - walked away -
  • Walked away - walked away.
     
    Thick as thieves us - we'd stick together for all time,
  • And we meant it but it turns out just for awhile,
    We stole the friendship that bound us together.
     
  • We stole the burning sun in the open sky,
    We stole the twinkling stars in the black night,
    We stole the green belt fields that made us believe,
  • We stole everything that we could see.
     
    But something came along that changes our minds,
  • I don't know what and I don't know why,
    But we seemed to grow up in a flash of time,
    While we watched our ideals helplessly unwind.
  •  
    No - we're no longer as thick as thieves - no,
    We're not as thick as we used to be - no,
  • We're no longer as thick as thieves - no,
    We're not as thick as we used to be -
     
  • No it wasn't enough - and we've gone and spoiled everything
    Now we're no longer as thick as thieves.
