xWords at Twenty Paces by Alabama (capo in 3rd fret)
Am G
Just like a western movie a challenge has been made
F E E7
a shot was fired in anger as pride stepped off the train
Am G
Won't we ever stop this killin’ me and you
F
til our hearts are up on boot hill
E E7
and there's nothin' we can do
Chorus
Am G
Words at 20 paces anger at high noon
F E E7
this house ain't big enough for both of us it's comin' soon
Am G
we'll finish up our happiness and run hope out of town
F E Am Am7
with words at twenty paces lord it's love we're gunnin' down
Bridge
F C
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share+
G E Am
the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care
F C
Sometimes your words cut like a bullet in my side
G E E7
oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride
Am G
I've got my ammunition, I know you've got yours too
F E E7
we know each other's weakness, lord the damage we can do
Am G
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away
F E E7
Let love come like the cavalry, ride in and save the day
