Lyrics

[Intro]
| D - | - - | - - | G/D D |
| - - | - - | - - |

[Verse 1]
              D
I know they say you can't go home again.
F#m/C#
      I just had to come back one last time.
G/D
Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam.
          D                                    Asus2 Asus4 A
But these hand prints on the front steps are mine.
            D
Up those stairs,
in that little back bedroom
           F#m/C#
Is where I did   my homework and I learned to play guitar.
      G/D
And I bet you didn't know under that live oak
   D                               Asus2 Asus4 A
My favorite dog is buried in the yard.  

[Chorus]
  G/D                                    D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
     Em                               D
This brokenness inside me might start healing.
    G/D
Out here it's like I’m someone else,
  Bm                               G/D
I thought that maybe I could find myself
   D                                   G/D
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave.
                         D
Won't take nothing but a memory
           A        Asus4 D
From the house that bui__lt me.

[Verse 2]
     D
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years.
     F#m/C#
From 'Better Homes and Garden' magazine.
              G/D
Plans were drawn, concrete poured,
And nail by nail and board by board
D
 Daddy gave life to mama's dream.

[Chorus]
Asus2 Asus4
A  G/D                                    D
 I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
     Em                               D
This brokenness inside me might start healing.
    G/D
Out here it's like I’m someone else,
  Bm                               G/D
I thought that maybe I could find myself
   D                                   G/D
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave.
                         D
Won't take nothing but a memory
           Asus4     A  D
From the house  that built me.

[Bridge]
    Bm
You leave home,
                    D
you move on and you do the best you can.
Em                                  G/D       Asus4 A
I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am.

[Chorus]
  G/D                                    D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
     Em                               D
This brokenness inside me might start healing.
    G/D
Out here it's like I’m someone else,
  Bm                               G/D
I thought that maybe I could find myself
   D                                   G/D
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave.
                         D
Won't take nothing but a memory
           Asus4     A  G/D   D
From the house  that built me.
