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