I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners Anymore - Rebecca Lynn Howard
Album: Rebecca Lynn Howard
Writers: Rebecca Lynn Howard/Trey Bruce
*Capo 3*

Intro:
E MajorE A augmentedA

BB           A augmentedA
It took me awhile to see things as they were
         E MajorE              BB
In the light of truth, it wasn't you, it was me
             A augmentedA
I let myself get used to drowning in the hurt
       E MajorE               BB
Against the wall, who'd of thought, it was me
C# minorC#m             A augmentedA    E MajorE
From there I couldn't look over my shoulder
C# minorC#m               BB
I kicked down all the walls and started all over

Chorus:
       E MajorE   F# minorF#m G# minorG#m  A augmentedA
And I don't paint myself into corners anymore
   E MajorE                 BB
In a brittle heart of clay I threw my brushes away
  E MajorE      F# minorF#m     G# minorG#m     C# minorC#m
The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me
       A augmentedA
Are out the door
     A(one strum)         E MajorE
I don't paint myself into corners anymore

E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA

BB                 A augmentedA
When you left you left me with no other choice all
    E MajorE           BB
But to sink, to my knees, and cry
           A augmentedA
I never knew just how far a soul could fall
    E MajorE             BB
Like a rock, couldn't stop, didn't try
C# minorC#m           A augmentedA      E MajorE
I locked myself behind shades of misery
C# minorC#m           BB
But when I let you go I set myself free

CHORUS:
E MajorE A augmentedA C# minorC#m BB

  E MajorE      F# minorF#m     G# minorG#m     C# minorC#m
The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me
       A augmentedA
Are out the door
     A(one strum)         E MajorE
I don't paint myself into corners anymore

E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA  E MajorE

BB  224442 (bar chord - bar 2)
C# minorC#m 446654 (bar chord - bar 4)
F# minorF#m 244222 (bar chord - bar 2)
G# minorG#m 466444 (bar chord - bar 4)

Note-If you're new and you don't like bar chords much you could probably
play this song without the F# minorF#m and G# minorG#m in the chorus by just continuing to
strum the E. It wouldn't make that big a difference to the song.
