[Verse 1]
DI know they say you can't go home again.
F#mI just had to come back one last time.
GMa'am I know you don't know me from Adam.
DBut these hand prints on the front steps are mAine.
DUp those stairs, in that little back bedroom
F#mIs where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar.
GAnd I bet you didn't know, under that live oak
My fDavorite dog is buried in the yAard.
[Chorus]
GI thought if I could touch this place or fDeel it
This Embrokenness inside me might start heDaling.
DOut here it's like I'm someone else,
BmI thought that maybe I could find myGself
DIf I could just come in I swear I'll lGeave.
Won't take noDthing but a memory
From the hoAuse that built mDe.
[Verse 2]
DMama cut out pictures of houses for years.
F#mFrom 'Better Homes and Garden' magazines.
GPlans were drawn, and concrete poured,
GAnd nail by nail and board by board
DDaddy gave life to mama's dAream.
[Chorus]
GI thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brEmokenness inside me might start hDealing.
GOut here it's like I'm someone else,
I tBmhought that maybe I could find mGyself.
If I cDould just come in I swear I'll Gleave.
Won't tDake nothing but a memory
AFrom the house that bDuilt me.
[Bridge]
BmYou leave home, you move on and you do theD best you can.
EmI got lost in this old world and fGorgot who I aAm.
[Chorus]
GI thought if I could touch this place or fDeel it
This Embrokenness inside me might start Dhealing.
GOut here it's like I'm someone else,
I tBmhought that maybe I could find myGself.
If I Dcould walk around I swear I'll leaGve.
Won't take noDthing but a memory
From the hAouse that, built meD.
