This is from the album "Keep Going" an absolute brilliant song if you ask me
(which for some reason, no one ever does). I'm surprised to see there
aren't any other songs here by Stephen Duffy. 
So here are the chords for this one, "An Open Book", enjoy it.


C5
We walked across the fields
A5
Through coarse December rain
E5                   G5
I knew but could not say
                        C5
That I?d lost our love again
                          A5
It will come in waves you said

In tides it will return
E5                       G5
The winter moon took it away
                     F5
It?s another beaches turn

F5                             C5
You think that life's an open book
                              G5
Filled with pictures that you took
Bb5                           A5
You close the book the story ends
                           F5
And it was so hard to make friends
                             C5
You close the book the story stops
                                 G5
Sometimes you stay down from the knocks
                             A5
You can't always come out on top

C5
I walked across the hillside
A5
I looked out on the view
E5                    G5
It could've been a TV show
                    C5
If I?d had a bigger crew
                 A5
I see my life reflected

In pearls shed by your eyes
E5                    G5
I wish for pearls of wisdom
                            F5
Not just tears and long goodbyes


F5                             C5
You think that life's an open book
                              G5
Filled with pictures that you took
Bb5                           A5
You close the book the story ends
                           F5
And it was so hard to make friends
                             C5
You close the book the story stops
                                 G5
Sometimes you stay down from the knocks
                             A5          
You can't always come out on top


D5                    
And when I wrote this song
C5
I was on the run
E5
In a gold rush town
A5                           D5
You didn?t think it was that good
                     C5       E5 A5
Even though you understood


F5                         C5
That life will be an open book
                              G5
Filled with pictures that you took
Bb5                           A5
You close the book the story ends
                           F5
And it was so hard to make friends
                             C5
You close the book the story stops
                                 G5
Sometimes you stay down from the knocks
                             A5          
You can't always come out on top


F5                             C5
You think that life's an open book
                              G5
Filled with pictures that you took
Bb5                           A5
You close the book the story ends
                           F5
And it was so hard to make friends
                             C5
You close the book the story stops
                                 G5
Sometimes you stay down from the knocks
                             A5          
You can't always come out on top
