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