[Intro]

D A D
[Verse]
I know they say, you can't go home again
F#m
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
F#m
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
Em D
This brokenness inside me might start healin'
G
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
Bm 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
F#m
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
Em D
This brokenness inside me might start healin'
G
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
Bm 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]
Bm D
You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
Em 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
Em D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G
Out here it's like I'm someone else
Bm 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
