Words at Twenty Paces by Alabama  (capo in 3rd fret)
A5                           G5         
Just like a western movie a challenge has been made

   F5                          E5                      E5
a shot was fired in anger as pride stepped off the train

A5                     G5
Won't we ever stop this killin? me and you

          F5
til our hearts are up on boot hill

              E5             E5
and there's nothin' we can do

Chorus
A5                 G5 
Words at 20 paces anger at high noon

     F5                                  E5               E5
this house ain't big enough for both of us it's comin' soon

A5                                G5 
we'll finish up our happiness and run hope out of town

F5                                     E5                  A5    A5
with words at twenty paces lord it's love we're gunnin' down

Bridge
F5                          C5
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share+

      G5                  E5                A5
the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care

F5                                C5    
Sometimes your words cut like a bullet in my side

     G5                                  E5               E5
oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride

       A5                   G5
I've got my ammunition, I know you've got yours too


    F5                                      E5           E5
we know each other's weakness, lord the damage we can do

A5                                G5
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away

      F5                          E5               E5  
Let love come like the cavalry, ride in and save the day
