VERSE 1: 
 
      D9               D 
In an empty room, or a tempting bar 
           A4                   A 
'Cross the universe, there's no place too far 
      D9/G 
Yeah, wherever you are 
        D/G           D9        D 
You and me, thick as thieves. 
 
 
         D9                
Well, it ain't always pretty 
    D 
Sometimes it can rough 
           A4     
Could have thrown the towel in 
    A 
And thrown our hands up 
             D9/G  
Seems like we've always been 
    D/G                     D9        D 
And always will be thick as thieves. 
 
 
 
 
G                      D       A 
Time, time won't never drag us down 
G                               D          A 
You, me, us, ain't looking back or turning around 
     Em                Bm 
It's classic boy meets girl 
         Em                Bm 
With our backs against the world 
        A 
You and me. 
         D9       D     
Thick as thieves. 
 
 
 
 
VERSE 2: 
 
In a world without faith 
You're what i believe 
When they're stacking the deck 
 
You're the card on my sleeve 
In my hour of meet, you and me 
Yeah, thick as thieves. 
 
 
 
G                      D       A 
Time, time won't never drag us down 
G                               D          A 
You, me, us, ain't looking back or turning around 
     Em                Bm 
It's classic boy meets girl 
         Em                Bm 
With our backs against the world 
        A 
You and me. 
         D9       D     
Thick as thieves. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
VERSE 3 
 
If i'd robbed a bank, you wouldn't care 
You'd come sit on my lap in the electric chair 
And when they'd flip the switch 
We'd just kiss. 
 
I know nothing's gonna stop us now 
You, me, us on the edge and never looking down 
What's a boy to do, it's classic me and you 
Lucky you, lucky me 
         D 
Thick as thieves. 
A            G 
Oh, thick as thieves 
    D 
Oh, yeah.
