Words at Twenty Paces by Alabama (capo in 3rd fret)
G#m F#
Just like a western movie a challenge has been made
E D# D#7
a shot was fired in anger as pride stepped off the train
G#m F#
Won't we ever stop this killin’ me and you
E
til our hearts are up on boot hill
D# D#7
and there's nothin' we can do
Chorus
G#m F#
Words at 20 paces anger at high noon
E D# D#7
this house ain't big enough for both of us it's comin' soon
G#m F#
we'll finish up our happiness and run hope out of town
E D# G#m G#m7
with words at twenty paces lord it's love we're gunnin' down
Bridge
E B
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share+
F# D# G#m
the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care
E B
Sometimes your words cut like a bullet in my side
F# D# D#7
oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride
G#m F#
I've got my ammunition, I know you've got yours too
E D# D#7
we know each other's weakness, lord the damage we can do
G#m F#
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away
E D# D#7
Let love come like the cavalry, ride in and save the day
