Verse 1
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
Verse 2
Up those [D]stairs in that little back bedroom
Is where I [F#m]did my homework and I learned to play guitar
Now 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]healing
Out [G]here it's like I'm someone else
I [Bm]thought that maybe I could find [G]myself
If [D]I could just come in I swear I'll [G]leave
Won't take nothing but a [D]memory from the [A]house that built[D] me
Verse 3
Mama [D]cut out pictures of houses for years
From [F#m]"Better Homes and Garden" magazine
Plans were [G]drawn and concrete poured, nail by nail and board by board
[D] Daddy gave life to mama's [A]dream
Chorus
I [G]thought if I could touch this place or [D]feel it
This [Em]brokenness inside me might start [D]healing
Out [G]here it's like I'm someone else
I [Bm]thought that maybe I could find [G]myself
If [D]I could just come in I swear I'll [G]leave
Won't take nothing but a [D]memory from the [A]house that built[D] me
Bridge
You [Bm]leave home, you move on and you [D]do the best you can
[Em]I got lost in this whole world and [G]forgot 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]healing
Out [G]here it's like I'm someone else
I [Bm]thought that maybe I could find [G]myself
If [D]I could walk around I swear I'll [G]leave
Won't take nothing but a [D]memory from the [A]house that built[G] me
