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