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