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