Words at Twenty Paces by Alabama (capo in 3rd fret)
A#m G#
Just like a western movie a challenge has been made
F# F F7
a shot was fired in anger as pride stepped off the train
A#m G#
Won't we ever stop this killin’ me and you
F#
til our hearts are up on boot hill
F F7
and there's nothin' we can do
Chorus
A#m G#
Words at 20 paces anger at high noon
F# F F7
this house ain't big enough for both of us it's comin' soon
A#m G#
we'll finish up our happiness and run hope out of town
F# F A#m A#m7
with words at twenty paces lord it's love we're gunnin' down
Bridge
F# C#
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share+
G# F A#m
the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care
F# C#
Sometimes your words cut like a bullet in my side
G# F F7
oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride
A#m G#
I've got my ammunition, I know you've got yours too
F# F F7
we know each other's weakness, lord the damage we can do
A#m G#
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away
F# F F7
Let love come like the cavalry, ride in and save the day
