[Intro]
A E D A
A E A
[Verse]
I know they say, you can't go home again
C#m
I just had to come back one last time
D
Ma'am I know, you don't know me from Adam
A E
But these hand prints on the front steps are mine
[Verse]
A
Up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
C#m
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 E
My favourite dog is buried in the yard
[Chorus]
D A
I thought if I could touch this place, or feel it
Bm A
This brokenness inside me might start healin'
D
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
F#m 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
E A
From the house that... built me
[Verse]
A
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
C#m
From "Better Homes and Garden" magazine
D
Plans were drawn and concrete poured and
A
Nail by nail and board by board
E
Daddy gave life to Mama's dream
[Chorus]
D A
I thought if I could touch this place, or feel it
Bm A
This brokenness inside me might start healin'
D
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
F#m 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
E A
From the house that... built me
[Bridge]
F#m A
You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
Bm D E
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
Bm A
This brokenness inside me might start healing
D
Out here it's like I'm someone else
F#m 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
