Verse 1
-------
  D                           G                      D
After all the windows on the ground floor had been broken
 
  Bm                         G           A
After all the undemandin' officers had spoken
 
  D                          G             D
After all the trouble after all the commotion
 
   Bm             G            A           D Bm G  A  A7
I walked right through the door was always open
 
Verse 2
-------
When I was seventeen I set out on the ocean
Searching for Columbus or wherever he was going
Then twenty thousand miles came down to just a moment
I sailed right through the door was always open
 
Verse 3
-------
I climbed the western wall without anybody knowin'
I held the guardsman captive with a pistol I had stolen
He just poured a cup of coffee and said, "Son now here's a notion.
The next time you drop by the door is always open."

   Bm                           G        D
I waited for the sun but it was already dawn
 
       G        D             A7
It was already dawn breakin' fast all along
 
       Bm                             G        D
And I waited for her song but she was already gone
 
        G        D             A
She was already gone breakin' fast all along
 
Verse 4
-------
So it seems I've spent a lifetime arrested and beholden
Standin' on the threshold absolutely frozen
Waitin' on some God above to tell me I was chosen
Instead I spoke myself the door was always open
 
Instead I spoke myself the door was always open
