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."
Bridge

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
Enjoy!
