Words at Twenty Paces by Alabama (capo in 3rd fret)
Gm F
Just like a western movie a challenge has been made
D# D D7
a shot was fired in anger as pride stepped off the train
Gm F
Won't we ever stop this killin’ me and you
D#
til our hearts are up on boot hill
D D7
and there's nothin' we can do
Chorus
Gm F
Words at 20 paces anger at high noon
D# D D7
this house ain't big enough for both of us it's comin' soon
Gm F
we'll finish up our happiness and run hope out of town
D# D Gm Gm7
with words at twenty paces lord it's love we're gunnin' down
Bridge
D# A#
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share+
F D Gm
the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care
D# A#
Sometimes your words cut like a bullet in my side
F D D7
oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride
Gm F
I've got my ammunition, I know you've got yours too
D# D D7
we know each other's weakness, lord the damage we can do
Gm F
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away
D# D D7
Let love come like the cavalry, ride in and save the day
