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)
