Intro.:   ( D )   ( D )   ( D ) ( A )  ( G ) ( D )  ( D ) ( A )  ( D )   ( D ) ---

            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
And 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 healin'
    G
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
  Bm                                 G
I thought that maybe I could find my-self
   D                                 G
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
                         D               A                D
Won't take nothin' but a memory from the house that built me


     D
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
     F#m               
From "Better Homes and Garden" magazines
           G
Plans were drawn, concrete poured, and 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 healin'
    G
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
  Bm                                 G
I thought that maybe I could find my-self
   D                                 G
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
                         D               A                D
Won't take nothin' but a memory from the house that built me


    Bm                              D
You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can
Em                                     G         A
I got lost in this whole world and for-got 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 healin'
    G
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
  Bm                                 G
I thought that maybe I could find my-self
   D                                 G
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
                         D               A                G
Won't take nothin' but a memory from the house that built me
