The House That Built Me

Chords
pin

Capo on 3

D
I know they say you cant go home again
F#
I just had to come back one last time
G
Maam I know you don?t know me from Adam
D                                         A
But these handprints on the front steps are mine


D
Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
F#
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
G
I bet you didn?t know under that live oak
D                              A
My favorite dog is buried in the yard


G                                        D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
Em                                   D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G
Out here its like Im someone else
Bm                                  G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
D                                    G
If I could just come in I swear Ill leave
G                       D
Wont take nothing but a memory
D           A           D
From the house that built me


D
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
F#
From Better Homes and Gardens magazine
G
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
G
Nail by nail and board by board
D                        A
Daddy gave life to mamas dream

G                                        D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
Em                                   D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G
Out here its like Im someone else
Bm                                  G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
D                                    G
If I could just come in I swear Ill leave
G                       D
Won?t take nothing but a memory
D           A           D
From the house that built me


Em                                       D
You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
Bm                               G           A
I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am


G                                        D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
Em                                   D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G
Out here its like Im someone else
Bm                                  G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
D                                    G
If I could walk around I swear Ill leave
G                       D
Wont take nothing but a memory
D           A           G     Em   A   D
From the house that built me

    Thanks for this! Although I prefer to play this capo 2 and the F# as a Gbm (or F#m if you prefer). Also makes the song a bit easier for beginners. (:
