[Intro]
D# A# G# D#
D# A# D#
[Verse]
I know they say, you can't go home again
Gm
I just had to come back one last time
G#
Ma'am I know, you don't know me from Adam
D# A#
But these hand prints on the front steps are mine
[Verse]
D#
Up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
Gm
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
G#
And I bet you didn't know, under that live oak
D# A#
My favourite dog is buried in the yard
[Chorus]
G# D#
I thought if I could touch this place, or feel it
Fm D#
This brokenness inside me might start healin'
G#
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
Cm G#
I thought that maybe I could find myself
D# G#
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
D#
Won't take nothin' but a memory
A# D#
From the house that... built me
[Verse]
D#
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
Gm
From "Better Homes and Garden" magazine
G#
Plans were drawn and concrete poured and
D#
Nail by nail and board by board
A#
Daddy gave life to Mama's dream
[Chorus]
G# D#
I thought if I could touch this place, or feel it
Fm D#
This brokenness inside me might start healin'
G#
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
Cm G#
I thought that maybe I could find myself
D# G#
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
D#
Won't take nothin' but a memory
A# D#
From the house that... built me
[Bridge]
Cm D#
You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
Fm G# A#
I got lost in this old world and forgot, who I am
[Chorus]
G# D#
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
Fm D#
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G#
Out here it's like I'm someone else
Cm D#
I thought that maybe I could find myself
G#
If I could walk around I swear I'll leave
D#
Won't take nothin' but a memory
