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

[Bridge]
Dm F
You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
Gm A# C
I got lost in this old world and forgot, who I am
[Chorus]
A# F
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
Gm F
This brokenness inside me might start healing
A#
Out here it's like I'm someone else
Dm F
I thought that maybe I could find myself
A#
If I could walk around I swear I'll leave
F
Won't take nothin' but a memory
