[verse]
Dsus2
A white moon appears
Dsus2
Like a hole in the sky,
G6/D
The mangroves go quiet.
Dsus2
In la Brisa de la Palma
Dsus2
A teenage Rasputin
G6/D
Takes the sting from a gin,
Dsus2
When a woman learns to walk
Dsus2
She's not dependent anymore
G6/D
A line front her letter May twenty-four
Dsus2
And out on the bay
Dsus2
The current is strong
G6/D
A boat can go lost.
[bridge]
Dsus2
But I didn't know someone
Dsus2
Could be so lonesome
Dsus2
Didn't know a heart
Dsus2
Could be tied up
Dsus2 Dsus2 G6/D
And held for ransom.
[ chorus]
D
Until you take your shoes
D G
And go outside,
D G
stride over stride.
D G
Walk to that tide
D G
'cause the door is open wide.
[ verse ]
Dsus2
Turned the fan off
Dsus2
And went for a walk
G6/D
By the lights down on Shield Street.
Dsus2
The birds in the trees
Dsus2
Open their wings
G6/D
He goes home again.
Dsus2
He dreams resistance,
Dsus2
They talk commitment,
G6/D
Things change over long distance.
Dsus2
Took the shirt off his back
Dsus2
The eyes from his head
G6/D
And left him for dead
[ bridge ]
Dsus2
But I didn't know someone
Dsus2
Could be so lonesome
Dsus2
Didn't know a heart
Dsus2
Could be tied up
Dsus2 Dsus2 G6/D
And held for ransom.
[chorus]
D
Until you take your shoes
D G
And go outside,
D G
stride over stride.
D G
Walk to that tide
D G
'cause the door is open wide.
[interlude]

Dsus2 G6/D Dsus2 G6/D
Little... lies they'll take your pride
Dsus2 G6/D Dsus2 G6/D
Little... lies they'll take your pride

[chorus-outro]
D
Until you take your shoes
D G
And go outside,
D G
stride over stride.
D G
Walk to that tide
D G
'cause the door is open wide.
D G
stride over stride.
D G
Walk to that tide
D G
Bye bye pride
D G
'cause the door is open wide.
G D G
The door is,...always open wide
G D G
The door is,...always open wide
