A                                                      
Please don't get me wrong see 
  E                                   Bm            D E
I forgive you in a song well call the likely lads,
A                              E                
But if its left to you I know exactly what you'd 
                Bm              D E
do with all the dreams we had,

         D                  Dm
Just blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves , 
A                                                    
If that's important to you, 
A       D            Dm 
Its       important to     me
Dm                            
I tried to make you see,
B                  E
But you don't wanna know!

[Verse 2]

A                                     E                                     
If you pipe all summer long then get forgiven 
                        Bm             D E
In a song well that's a touch my lad,
A                                                                          
They sold the rights to all the wrongs 
        E
and when they knew you'd give me songs
         Bm           D E
Welcome back I said

         D                 Dm
Just blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves , 
         C#m

A        D             Dm 
Its       important to     me
Dm                            C#m           Bm       E
I tried to make you see, but you don't wanna know!

[Chorus]

A        E           D
Oh what became of the likely lads?
A       E          D
Oh what became of the dreams we had?
A       E          D 
Oh what became of forever?
A       E            D
Oh what became forever?
D           E        A
Though we'll never know
