F G Am G F

[Verse 1]

C            C/B    C     Am                F
I held up a liquor store demanding topshelf metaphors
C               C/B   C
Silly smile and open arms
        Am                F            
Drop a line to charm the silent alarm

[Interlude]

C Am F  (x2)

[Verse 2]

C              C/B         C
Mutual angels calling the cops
            Am                      F
They'll be choosing sides when the fighting stops
C                  C/B  C
Police summon the cavalry
      Am                     F
While we six kings made our getaway

[Chorus]

F     G   C
Thick as thieves
F   G   C     F   G   Am   G     F
On our knees with an ocean in between
F     G   C
Thick as thieves
F   G   C     F   G   Am   G     F
On our knees with an ocean in between
F    G   Am   G     F
with an ocean in between

[Verse 3]

C                C/B     C
Laughter in the darkness
Am               F
Whispers in the shadows
        C                      C/B    C
I was there when the wall fell down
         Am                   F
I'll be there when the ocean rises

[Interlude]

C Am F  (x2)

[Verse 4]

C                   C/B        C
Building castles of cans and bottles
Am                 F
Drinking like they do in novels
C                     C/B     C        Am                 F
Know they'll catch me by and by, but tonight you are my alibi
G                     Am
Same old song that we all come from
G                   F 
Faded stars in the air that we breathe, in the earth, in the sea

[Chorus]

F     G   C
Thick as thieves
F   G   C     F   G   Am   G     F
On our knees with an ocean in between
F     G   C
Thick as thieves
F   G   C     F   G   Am   G     F
On our knees with an ocean in between
F     G   C
Thick as thieves
F   G   C     F   G   Am   G     F
On our knees with an ocean in between
F     G   C
Thick as thieves
F   G   C     F   G   Am   G     F
On our knees with an ocean in between
F    G   Am   G     F
with an ocean in between
