You Left My Chair chords by Jamie Lin Wilson

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G                     C        G
I built this house in fifteen years
G                      C       G
Tongue and groove and tile and stone
  G                   C      G
I chose to raise my children here
  G                   D       G
I chose to make this house a home


Verse 2:
   G              C       G
I set this old, unwanted chair
G                C           G
Out of the sun, out on its own
       G                 C       G
And I spent my days just sittin' here
    G                  D       G
To enjoy the fruit my labor's grown

Chorus:
         D
And it held to its own
         C            G
As the time passed it by
            D
When you leave things alone
          C            G
It's a wonder they survive
 (walk down) E
Weeds overgrown
       C       D
The rooms are bare
                  G
But you left my chair


Verse 3:
       G             C       G
The risin' sun, the cars go by
  G                   C        G
Kids at play, the neighbors fight
    G                  C    G
I saw it all sittin' here alone
    G                D
And I watched you runnin' from this
G
throne


Chorus:
         D
And it held to its own
         C            G
As the time passed it by
           D
When you leave things alone
         C             G
It's a wonder they survive
 (walk down) E
Weeds overgrown
      C         D
The rooms are bare
                   G
But you left my chair


Solo:
E D C C E D C C


Chorus:
         D
And it held to its own
         C             G
As the time passed it by
            D
When you leave things alone
                 C       D
It's a wonder they survive
 (walk down) E
Weeds overgrown
      C        D
The rooms are bare
                  G
But you left my chair


Verse 4:
   G                      C    G
I built this house in fifteen years
            G                 C
It's been fifteen years since I've been gone
          G                  C     G
There's nothin' left but mem'ries here
           G                 D     G
Well, at least you left my chair alone
