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

Filled with pictures that you took

And it was so hard to make friends
