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