The House That Built Me Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro.: | D | D | D A | G D | D A | D | D ---

 I know they D 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

 But these D handprints on the front steps are A mine

 And up those D stairs, in that little back bedroom

 Is where I F♯m did my homework and I learned to play guitar

 And I G bet you didn't know under that live oak

 My D favorite dog is buried in the A yard

(Chorus)

 I G thought if I could touch this place or D feel it

 This Em brokenness inside me might start D healin'

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

 I Bm thought that maybe I could find my- G self

 If D I could just come in I swear I'll G leave

 Won't take nothin' but a D memory from the A house that built D me

 Mama D cut out pictures of houses for years

 From F♯m "Better Homes and Garden" magazines

 Plans were G drawn, concrete poured, and nail by nail and board by board

  D Daddy gave life to mama's dream A

(Chorus)

 I G thought if I could touch this place or D feel it

 This Em brokenness inside me might start D healin'

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

 I Bm thought that maybe I could find my- G self

 If D I could just come in I swear I'll G leave

 Won't take nothin' but a D memory from the A house that built D me

 You Bm leave home, you move on and you D do the best you can

  Em I got lost in this whole world and for- G got who I A am

(Chorus)

 I G thought if I could touch this place or D feel it

 This Em brokenness inside me might start D healin'

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

 I Bm thought that maybe I could find my- G self

 If D I could just come in I swear I'll G leave

 Won't take nothin' but a D memory from the A house that built G me

 Outro.: | D | Em A | D
