Wide Open Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You always thought it was blood,
but it was only red [G]wine
And that [A]just goes to prove you're not the same girl at the same bar,
ordering the [G]same drink at closing [D]time
No refrigerator magnets,
I'm hopeless evid[G]ence against you
I'll [A]present them to each and every
of your peers before you
That would be im[G]possible to [D]do
But from [G]wide open faces,
I turn out just [D]to be wise
And [A]what you mean,
I just [G]prove [Bm]that's
[A]Now's where to [D]practice being kind
Your bumper stickers,
I bump into them every [G]place I go to
But do you [A]think that plagiarizing and
abbreviating wisdom is what
[G]Jesus would [D]do?
Dying teeth, if you flash your [G]new smile
Trying [A]to conceal, but knowing all while that
more than just your [G]picture's on [D]file
There [G]are no small places, [D]just small miles
And if the [A]word of [G]wisdom you [Bm]failed to [A]catch,
somebody [D]else will find
You think you're ageless [G]and timeless,
[D]but the truth is that even you[G]r beauty will fade
Because you've [A]done so well,
taught yourself to be so reckless, foolish, that's [G]just what
God [D]made
But the [G]wildest faces turn
out just [D]to be wild
And it's a [A]me that just [G]pulls at the [Bm]gear
Who [A]knows where to [D]prac
tice for the kind
And every memory of beauty
Battles each [G]yardstick of time
And every [A]single baby minute of
every hour of every day
Brings [G]you closer to the [D]back of the line
But there [G]are no small faces,
[D]just long lines
And every moment of [G]life you [Bm]waste be
[A]comes somebody [D]else's time
And the [G]wide open spaces you thought were yours,
I [D]thought were mine
And the [A]love that [G]held us [Bm]together,
we [A]lost somewhere [D]along the climb
