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.
[C]We walked across the fields
[Am]Through coarse December rain
[Em]I knew but could not [G]say
That I?d lost our love a[C]gain
It will come in waves you [Am]said
In tides it will return
[Em]The winter moon took it a[G]way
It?s another beaches [F]turn
[F]You think that life's an open [C]book
Filled with pictures that you [G]took
[Bb]You close the book the story [Am]ends
And it was so hard to make [F]friends
You close the book the story [C]stops
Sometimes you stay down from the [G]knocks
You can't always come out on [Am]top
[C]I walked across the hillside
[Am]I looked out on the view
[Em]It could've been a TV [G]show
If I?d had a bigger [C]crew
I see my life ref[Am]lected
In pearls shed by your eyes
[Em]I wish for pearls of w[G]isdom
Not just tears and long good[F]byes
[F]You think that life's an open [C]book
Filled with pictures that you [G]took
[Bb]You close the book the story [Am]ends
And it was so hard to make [F]friends
You close the book the story [C]stops
Sometimes you stay down from the [G]knocks
You can't always come out on [Am]top
[Dm]And when I wrote this song
[C]I was on the run
[Em]In a gold rush town
[Am]You didn?t think it was that [Dm]good
Even though you under[C]stood[Em7][Am]
[F]That life will be an open [C]book
Filled with pictures that you [G]took
[Bb]You close the book the story [Am]ends
And it was so hard to make [F]friends
You close the book the story [C]stops
Sometimes you stay down from the [G]knocks
You can't always come out on [Am]top
[F]You think that life's an open [C]book
Filled with pictures that you [G]took
[Bb]You close the book the story [Am]ends
And it was so hard to make [F]friends
You close the book the story [C]stops
Sometimes you stay down from the [G]knocks
