Words at Twenty Paces by Alabama (capo in 3rd fret)
Em D
Just like a western movie a challenge has been made
C B B7
a shot was fired in anger as pride stepped off the train
Em D
Won't we ever stop this killin’ me and you
C
til our hearts are up on boot hill
B B7
and there's nothin' we can do
Chorus
Em D
Words at 20 paces anger at high noon
C B B7
this house ain't big enough for both of us it's comin' soon
Em D
we'll finish up our happiness and run hope out of town
C B Em Em7
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 B Em
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 B B7
oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride
Em D
I've got my ammunition, I know you've got yours too
C B B7
we know each other's weakness, lord the damage we can do
Em D
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away
C B B7
Let love come like the cavalry, ride in and save the day
