Words at Twenty Paces by Alabama (capo in 3rd fret)
Fm D#
Just like a western movie a challenge has been made
C# C C7
a shot was fired in anger as pride stepped off the train
Fm D#
Won't we ever stop this killin’ me and you
C#
til our hearts are up on boot hill
C C7
and there's nothin' we can do
Chorus
Fm D#
Words at 20 paces anger at high noon
C# C C7
this house ain't big enough for both of us it's comin' soon
Fm D#
we'll finish up our happiness and run hope out of town
C# C Fm Fm7
with words at twenty paces lord it's love we're gunnin' down
Bridge
C# G#
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share+
D# C Fm
the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care
C# G#
Sometimes your words cut like a bullet in my side
D# C C7
oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride
Fm D#
I've got my ammunition, I know you've got yours too
C# C C7
we know each other's weakness, lord the damage we can do
Fm D#
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away
C# C C7
Let love come like the cavalry, ride in and save the day
