Em           C
Even though we ain't no brothers
We follow the spiritual light
It's thicker than blood
And harder than stone

We overcome stormy waters
Climb up the mountain so high
The day will come
When we bring it home

G              D         C
We're on some kind of a mission
For what we believe in our hearts
We're reaching out for our visions

Chorus:
G           D              Em  D
'Cause we are partners in crime
C    Em D
Any time
 C            Em D
Partners in crime
        C       Em D
Under crimson sky

We ride the thunder, the lightning
To find the key to our faith
We keep searching for
The peace of mind (yeah)

He walked the road of a warrior
Stand up and do what it takes
'Cause these things life
Ain't worth a dime

Out in a world of confusion
Searching for light in the dark
We turn the wheel of illusion

Chorus:
'Cause we are partners in crime
Any time
Partners in crime
Under crimson sky

B                   Em
We hold on to what money can't buy
         D
'Cause friends will be friends
          Em
Till the day that we die
B                  Em
We go on until the end of time
D
Once you're in
 Am                  B
You just can't get away

Even though we ain't no brothers
We follow the spiritual light
It's thicker than blood
And harder than stone

We overcome stormy waters
Climb up the mountain so high
The day will come
When we bring it home

We're on some kind of a mission
For what we believe in our hearts
We're reaching out for our visions

Chorus:
'Cause we are partners in crime
Any time
Partners in crime
Under crimson sky
Partners in crime
Any time
Partners in crime
Under crimson sky
