Chords

From Thompson's 2003 Album The Old Kit Bag You'll have to get the picking down on this one, but the chords are easy to play with. KEY – G [Verse 1]

A
One door opens, another shuts behind

One sun sets and another sun she rises Love comes to you in old familiar ways Love comes to you in shadows and disguises

D
She may quit you, she may forsake you

                                 A
Drift away like a phantom in a fever

D
Who walks in to your heart of solitude

                                 A
Who walks into the lair of the deceiver

[Chorus]

Dm
They say it was my turn

They say I had it coming They say that’s what you earn For living through a lie If I could have my way I’d leave it all tomorrow There’s sorrow if I stay I’ve other fish to fry [Bridge] Em G (x2) [Verse 2]

A
One door opens, another shuts behind

A
One sun sets and another sun she rises

A
Love comes to you in old familiar ways

A
Love comes to you in shadows and disguises

D
When love breaks like a precious string of pearls

                                             A
A thousand memories, they roll away and scatter

D
Make believe that there’s ice runs through my veins

                                         A
Shrug my shoulders, as if it doesn’t matter

[Second Chorus]

Dm
They say it was my turn

Dm
They say I had it coming

Dm
They say that’s what you earn

Dm
For living through a lie

Dm
If I could have my way

Dm
I’d leave it all tomorrow

Dm
There’s sorrow if I stay

Dm
I’ve other fish to fry

[Bridge] Em G (x2) [Repeat Verse[
