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 hand prints 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
And 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.

D
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
Won't take nothing but a memory

           A               D
From the house that built me.
[Verse 2]
D
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years.

F#m
From 'Better Homes and Garden' magazines.

G
Plans were drawn, and concrete poured,

G
And nail by nail and board by board

D                          A
Daddy gave life to mama's dream.
[Chorus]
G
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it

This brokenness inside me might start healing.

Out here it's like I'm someone else,

From the house that built me.
[Bridge]
Bm                                        D
You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can.

Em                                G            A
I got lost in this old 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 walk around I swear I'll leave.

             D
Won't take nothing but a memory

          A                  D
From the house that, built me.
