Dear Thief chords by Ryan Adams

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Intro:
G C (x3)


🎸 Verse 1:
       G                         C                 G  C
Well I hope whatever's coming to you, never comes
      G              C                      G  C
And the rewards only me, for what you'd done


🎸 Chorus:
         Am                       C
'Cause I thought I was giving you everything
      G                         C
But I guess you wanted more, indeed
    Am                      C
And you and I were fated as strangers
    D       C      G       C   G
But now you are my thief

🎸 Verse 2:
           G                                C
And I'm pretending the things that you have stolen
                G                   C
They weren't as lovely to me as the wind
        G                  C
But the door that I left unlocked
               G                                     C
Is letting the dirt and the rain and the cold come in
       G            C
And if I was ever a peacock coat
    G                      C
You surely are just and ass
    G                 C
For years of hell and wrath will come
      G                  C
If my wishes come to pass

🎸 Chorus:
         Am                       C
'Cause I thought I was giving you everything
        G                 C
But you wanted more from me
    Am                            C
And you and I were strangers back then
    D       C      G       C
But now you are my thief

🎸 Interlude:
G C (x2)

🎸 Outro:
         Am
May your pen dry up
         C
May your chest go weak
         G                C
May your lover understand
     G   D   C   G  Am
That now you are my thief
    D        C     G
And I'm your empty hand

G C (x2)
