Open and Shut Case
by @berni1954
Skirmish: OPEN (@corinnecurcio)
Liner Notes
A late entry for the "Open" skirmish
I wrote it within the time, but the recording took a lot longer!
Instrument: PRS SE Santana
Backing (bass and drums) by Band in a Box
(Also Strings, but I fear they were lost in the mix.
Lyrics
(B) I went into (A) this with (G) open (A) eyes
I (B) knew your pro(A)nouncements were (G) probably (A) lies
(B) But time (A) flies when you're (G) having (A) fun
And as the (G) song says: it had only just be(B) gun
What you really thought was a closed door
You never revealed what you were striving for
You said one thing, but then you did another
You never really showed me you were truly bothered
It's an (E) open and shut (D) case
You just (A) vanished without (B) trace
You (E) had me on your (D) hook
Your (A) motives a closed (B) book
I had (E) laid my(D)self (A) open to (B) you
But you (G) closed the deal and watched it fall (B) through
INSTRUMENTAL & CHORUS
Now an open wound is all that is left
You closed up shop and left me bereft
I keep the door open, just in case
But I know you've slammed it in my face
CHORUS
