THESE DAYS IN AN OPEN BOOK (Nanci Griffith)
-------------------------------------------
[Capo 2; open G tuning (DGDGBD).]
[Note that BmG probably isn't a good name for a chord; it's just my
shorthand for "Bm(addG)."]
[Gx00000; Gsus/Ax20010; Am11x22010; BmGx44030; Csus2x50030;
Dsusx20030; C/Gx02010; D/Gx04030; Gsusx00010; G/Bx40000.]
[Each chord, or group of chords joined by a hyphens (e.g., "Csus2 - Dsus")
is one measure; listen to the recording to get the rhythm.]
G[intr[Gsus/A]o]Am11[-][BmG]Csus2[-][Dsus]
G Shut it down and call this [Gsus]road a day
And put this sC/Gilence i[-]n my hD/Geart i[-]n a C/Gbetter placGe[-][Gsus]
I had trGavelled with your ghosts now for so [Gsus]many years
That I sAm11ee you in[-] the sh[BmG]adows, in Csus2hotel room[-]s and hG/Beadlights

Is in aG/B folded h[-]and of Csus2grace against these [G]times
G(..times[Gsus/A]) [similarAm11 to i[-]nt[BmG]ro]Csus2[-]G[-][Dsus]
No one's ever come between your memory and me
I have driven this weary vessel here alone
Will you still find me if I leave you here beside this road
'Cause I need someone who can touch me, who'll put no one above me
Someone who needs me like the air he breathes
These days my life is an open book
Missing pages I cannot seem to find
These days your face in my memory
Is in a folded hand of grace against these times
Csus2 I can't[-] remeG/Bmber where this [Gsus/A]toll road [-]goesG/B
Csus2 Maybe i[-]t's G/BFort Worth, maybe it's a [Gsus/A]heart of go[-]ldG/B
Csus2 The pric[-]e of G/Blove is such a [Gsus/A]heavy toll
That I've l[Gsus/A]ived my life in[-] the backG/Broads with Csus2your love i[-]n my pG/Bocket
If I [Gsus/A]spend the love y[-]ou gave me, G/Btell me, Csus2where wil[-]l it G/Bgo?[-][Gsus/A]
These days my life is an open book
