The House That Built Me

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 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 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 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 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 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
