Words at Twenty Paces by Alabama (capo in 3rd fret)
Bm A
Just like a western movie a challenge has been made
G F# F#7
a shot was fired in anger as pride stepped off the train
Bm A
Won't we ever stop this killin’ me and you
G
til our hearts are up on boot hill
F# F#7
and there's nothin' we can do
Chorus
Bm A
Words at 20 paces anger at high noon
G F# F#7
this house ain't big enough for both of us it's comin' soon
Bm A
we'll finish up our happiness and run hope out of town
G F# Bm Bm7
with words at twenty paces lord it's love we're gunnin' down
Bridge
G D
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share+
A F# Bm
the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care
G D
Sometimes your words cut like a bullet in my side
A F# F#7
oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride
Bm A
I've got my ammunition, I know you've got yours too
G F# F#7
we know each other's weakness, lord the damage we can do
Bm A
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away
G F# F#7
Let love come like the cavalry, ride in and save the day
