Verse:

G
Tear down the house
     C         G
That I grew up in
G          D      C    G
I'll never be the same again
G                    C      G
Take everything that I've collected
    G        D    G
And throw it in a pile

G
Bulldoze the woods
     C        G
That I ran through
G             D       C      G
Carry the pictures of me and you
  G                 C          G
I have no memory of who I once was
    G          D          G
And I don't remember your name

G
Park the old car
     C          G 
That I love the best
G            D          C              G
Inspection's due and it won't pass the test
     G                   C         G
It's funny how I have to put it to rest
    G       D              G
And how one day I will join it

G          C           G
I remember crying over you
      G                 D         C             G
And I don't mean like a couple of tears and I'm blue
    G   
I'm talking about collapsing
    C                G
And screaming at the moon
    G            D       C           G    
But I'm a better man for having gone through it
     G            D       C           G
Yes, I'm a better man for having gone through

G                    C      G
Ever since I learned how to curse
G         D           C         G
I've been using those sorry old words
        G        
But I'm talkin' to these children
        C          G 
And I'm keeping it clean
  G                C        D          G
I don't need those words to say what I mean
      G                C        D          G    
No, I don't need those words to say what I mean

G                        C         G
Tear down the house that I grew up in
G          D      C    G
I'll never be the same again
G                    C         G
Take everything that I used to own
    G       D    G
And burn it in a pile
     G                       C     G
And, bulldoze the woods that I ran through
G         D           C      G
Carry the pictures of me and you
G                   C          G
I have no memory of who I once was
    G            D        G  
And I don't remember your name.
