Words At Twenty Paces Chords & Lyrics - Alabama

[Am]Just like a western movie a c[G]hallenge has been made

a s[F]hot was fired in anger as p[E]ride stepped off the tr[E7]ain

[Am]Won't we ever stop this[G] killin’ me and you

til our he[F]arts are up on boot hill

and there's no[E]thin' we can d[E7]o

[CHORUS]
[Am]Words at 20 paces a[G]nger at high noon

this [F]house ain't big enough for both of [E]us it's comin' s[E7]oon

[Am]we'll finish up our happiness and [G]run hope out of town

[F]with words at twenty paces lord it's l[E]ove we're gunnin' d[Am]own [Am7]

[BRIDGE]
[F]How did we ever lose the dr[C]eams we used to share+

the ge[G]ntle touch, the wor[E]ds of love, the w[Am]ay we used to care

[F]Sometimes your words cut like a b[C]ullet in my side

oh, w[G]hich is more important, wounded hea[E]rts or wounded p[E7]ride

I've go[Am]t my ammunition, I kn[G]ow you've got yours too

we k[F]now each other's weakness, lord the dam[E]age we can d[E7]o

[Am]Why can't we just step aside and p[G]ut our guns away

Let lo[F]ve come like the cavalry, r[E]ide in and save [E7]the day
