Standard Tuning          
W/ Capo on 5

 C  G  F  C  
 C  G  C 
            C 
I know they say, you can't go home again
 Em 
 I just had to come back one last time
 F 
Ma'am I know, you don't know me from Adam
          C                                  G 
But these hand prints on the front steps are mine

         C 
Up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
           Em 
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
      F 
And I bet you didn't know, under that live oak
   C                             G 
My favorite dog is buried in the yard


[Chorus]

  F                                       C 
I thought if I could touch this place, or feel it
     Dm                               C 
This brokenness inside me might start healin'
    F 
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
  Am                                F 
I thought that maybe I could find myself
   C                                 F 
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
                         C 
Won't take nothin' but a memory
         G                  C 
From the house that... built me


[Verse]

     C 
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
      Em 
From "Better Homes and Garden" magazine
           F 
Plans were drawn and concrete poured and
 F 
Nail by nail and board by board
 C                               G 
  Daddy gave life to Mama's dream


[Chorus]

  F                                       C 
I thought if I could touch this place, or feel it
     Dm                               C 
This brokenness inside me might start healin'
    F 
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
  Am                                F 
I thought that maybe I could find myself
   C                                 F 
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
                         C 
Won't take nothin' but a memory
         G                  C 
From the house that... built me
 

[Bridge]

    Am                                 C 
You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
      Dm                            F          G 
I got lost in this old world and forgot, who I am


[Chorus]

  F                                      C 
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
     Dm                               C 
This brokenness inside me might start healing
    F 
Out here it's like I'm someone else
  Am                                F 
I thought that maybe I could find myself
   C                                F 
If I could walk around I swear I'll leave
                         C 
Won't take nothin' but a memory
         G                   F   C  Dm  G  C -once
From the house that.... built me
