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