E Esus2
If it's time that you want, if it's space that you need,
C#min Esus4
Then darling go find it, that's alright by me.
E Esus2
I'll be building a house that you may never see.
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I'll be working my hands to the bone,
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
E Esus2
Just know that you have the respect you deserve,
C#min Esus4
As you cling to your courage and your efforts to serve.
E Esus2
The convictions you hold from the lessons you've learned
C#min Esus2 Esus4
As you whispered that I'd be alright,
C#min Esus2 Esus4
And that I needed to learn how to fight --- for you.
[CHORUS]
E Esus2
So whenever you come back from wherever you roam,
C#min Esus4
I'll be building a house, that just might be our home.
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I'll be working my hands to the bone,
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
E Esus2
The most beautiful thing that I've ever seen,
C#min Esus4
Was the face of my lover as she turned to leave.
E Esus2
And she kissed me as if she was some sort of queen,
C#min Esus2 Esus4
And I suddenly realized that she was.
C#min Esus2 Esus4
And what a fool I have been with her love.
E Esus2
Somehow I think if I write enough songs,
C#min Esus4
I can win back the time, and the things I've done wrong.
E Esus2
And you'll hear one one day, and you'll admit you belong,
C#min Esus2 Esus4
Here with me, in the house that I've made
C#min Esus2 Esus4
Cause this bed's way too big for me anyways.
[CHORUS]
E Esus2
So whenever you come back from wherever you roam,
C#min Esus4
I'll be building a house, that just might be our home.
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I'll be working my hands to the bone,
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
E Esus2
If you see her in Ireland, with her hands way up high,
C#min Esus4
Know that she is a songbird, who's longing to fly.
E Esus2
And don't cage her unless you just want her to die
C#min Esus2 Esus4
Darling, it's time to be free.
C#min Esus2 Esus4
Thanks for making a man out of me.
E Esus2
So love if you come out to one of the shows,
C#min Esus4
And you hear me strumming this old song alone,
E Esus2
Just know that I saved you your old microphone.
C#min Esus2 Esus4
And I've finally learned how to fight.
C#min Esus2 Esus4
And you can tell me that you are alright.
[CHORUS]
E Esus2
So whenever you come back from wherever you roam,
C#min Esus4
I'll be building a house, that just might be our home.
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I'll be working my hands to the bone,
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
E Esus2
If you find a love that does what I could not do,
C#min Esus4
As you discover yourself while you toil through school
E Esus2
Cast your memory back to this old fool,
C#min Esus2 Esus4
That is working his hands to the bone.
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
E Esus2
So whenever you get back from wherever you roam,
C#min Esus4
I've built us a house, that we can call home.
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I've been working my hands to the bone,
C#min Esus2 Esus4
I've been working my hands to the bone.
