An Open Book Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CWe walked across the fields

AmThrough coarse December rain

EmI knew but could not Gsay

 That I’d lost our love aCgain

 It will come in waves you Amsaid

In tides it will return

EmThe winter moon took it aGway

 It’s another beaches Fturn

FYou think that life's an open Cbook

 Filled with pictures that you Gtook

A♯You close the book the story Amends

 And it was so hard to make Ffriends

 You close the book the story Cstops

 Sometimes you stay down from the Gknocks

 You can't always come out on Amtop

CI walked across the hillside

AmI looked out on the view

EmIt could've been a TV Gshow

 If I’d had a bigger Ccrew

 I see my life refAmlected

In pearls shed by your eyes

EmI wish for pearls of wGisdom

 Not just tears and long goodFbyes

FYou think that life's an open Cbook

 Filled with pictures that you Gtook

A♯You close the book the story Amends

 And it was so hard to make Ffriends

 You close the book the story Cstops

 Sometimes you stay down from the Gknocks

 You can't always come out on Amtop

DmAnd when I wrote this song

CI was on the run

EmIn a gold rush town

AmYou didn’t think it was that Dmgood

 Even though you underCstood Em7 Am

FThat life will be an open Cbook

 Filled with pictures that you Gtook

A♯You close the book the story Amends

 And it was so hard to make Ffriends

 You close the book the story Cstops

 Sometimes you stay down from the Gknocks

 You can't always come out on Amtop

FYou think that life's an open Cbook

 Filled with pictures that you Gtook
