The Door Was Always Open Lyrics & Chords By Joe Pug

After all the windows
On the ground floor had been broken
After all the undemandin' officers had spoken
After all the trouble
After all o' the commotion
I walked right through
The door was always open

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."

I waited for the sun
But it was already dawn
It was already dawn
Breakin' fast all along

And I waited for her song
But she was already gone
She was already gone
Breakin' fast all along

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
