The door is always open - Waylon Jennings
[Verse 1]
E                             A                       E
Saw your picture in the paper   and I see you married good
                                A                        B
And I know that he can give you   all the things I never could
                         A        B                       E
But I know that he can't give you   what you need most of all
                      A     B                          E
So the door is always open,   and the lights on in the hall
[Chorus]
E                       B    A                         E
Yes, the door is always open   and the lights on in the hall
                           A       B                     E
And you know that I'll be waiting,   if you ever come to call
[Verse 2]
E                                A                         E
When night falls on that mansion   and you're lying in his bed
                               A                        B
When he begs you for attention,  will you think of me instead
                       A         B                            E
When he reaches out to touch you,  is your face turned to the wall?
                        A    B                          E
Well the door is always open,  and the lights on in the hall
[Chorus]
E                       B    A                         E
Yes, the door is always open   and the lights on in the hall
                           A       B                     E
And you know that I'll be waiting,   if you ever come to call
[Outro]
E                       B    A                         E
Yes, the door is always open   and the lights on in the hall
                           A       B                     E
And you know that I'll be waiting,   if you ever come to call
