Capo 3
[Intro]
D D D A G D D A D D
[Verse]
D
I know they say you can't go home again
F#m
I just had to come back one last time
G
Ma'am 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#m
Is where i did my homework and i learned to play guitar
G
Now i bet you didn't know under that live oak
D A
My favorite dog is buried in the yard
[Chorus]
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 it's like i'm someone else
Bm G
I thought that maybe i could find myself
D G
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
D A D
Won't take nothing but a memory of the house that built me
[Verse]
D
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
F#m
From "Better Homes and Garden" magazine
G
Plans were drawn concrete poured nail by nail and board by board
D A
Daddy gave life to mama's dream
[Chorus]
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 it's like i'm someone else
Bm G
I thought that maybe i could find myself
D G
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
D A D
Won't take nothing but a memory of the house that built me
[Bridge]
Bm D
You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
Em G A
I got lost in this whole world and forgot who i am
[Chorus]
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 it's like i'm someone else
Bm G
I thought that maybe i could find myself
D G
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
D A D
Won't take nothing but a memory of the house that built me
