Words at Twenty Paces by Alabama (capo in 3rd fret)
Dm C
Just like a western movie a challenge has been made
A# A A7
a shot was fired in anger as pride stepped off the train
Dm C
Won't we ever stop this killin’ me and you
A#
til our hearts are up on boot hill
A A7
and there's nothin' we can do
Chorus
Dm C
Words at 20 paces anger at high noon
A# A A7
this house ain't big enough for both of us it's comin' soon
Dm C
we'll finish up our happiness and run hope out of town
A# A Dm Dm7
with words at twenty paces lord it's love we're gunnin' down
Bridge
A# F
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share+
C A Dm
the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care
A# F
Sometimes your words cut like a bullet in my side
C A A7
oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride
Dm C
I've got my ammunition, I know you've got yours too
A# A A7
we know each other's weakness, lord the damage we can do
Dm C
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away
A# A A7
Let love come like the cavalry, ride in and save the day
