Build A House chords by Megan Tibbits

• Capo on 1st

♫ Intro:

G



♫ Verse 1:
  G
I'm building
    C        G
But the walls they take forever
     C      Em          D
I guess I painted over wallpaper instead of scraping it off
  G
I'm filling
    C          G
Guess I thought it would be easier
  C         Em       D
To cover up holes by hanging pretty things on the wall

♫ Pre-Chorus:
     C          G    D
I had to do a little bit of undoing to do it right
     C          Em     D
I had to do a little bit of unlearning to see the light

♫ Chorus:
         C    D
I want to build a house
          G
That's sturdy and unshaken
            C   D
But first I gotta tear down
              G
What I thought that I could make it
             C
'Cause the walls could no longer hold
  D         G    D   Em
The weight of all you want to put inside
          C   D
So I gotta tear it down
            G
'Cause I want to build a house

♫ Verse 2:
  G
I'm learning
    C         G
That I thought I knew the best way
       C        Em
You probably tried to tell me gently
       D
But still I demanded I was right
 G
I notice
    C        G
That I know less than I did before
  C         Em
But you think that is beautiful
        D
And you've been waiting for that

♫ Pre-Chorus:
     C          G    D
I had to do a little bit of undoing to do it right
     C          Em     D
I had to do a little bit of unlearning to see the light

♫ Chorus:
         C    D
I want to build a house
          G
That's sturdy and unshaken
            C   D
But first I gotta tear down
              G
What I thought that I could make it
             C
'Cause the walls could no longer hold
  D         G    D   Em
The weight of all you want to put inside
          C   D
So I gotta tear it down
             Em
'Cause I want to build a house

♫ Bridge:
             D
A place where you want to live
             C
A place where you want to stay
           D              Em
A place where I stop taking up all the space and
           D
A place where you can move
            C
A place you can redecorate
          D                       Em
A place where I've addressed the things that need to change and
           D
A place that you can use
            C
A place where you will say

Well done now
    D
You've built me a house

♫ Chorus:
         C    D
I want to build a house
          G
That's sturdy and unshaken
            C   D
But first I gotta tear down
              G
What I thought that I could make it
             C
'Cause the walls could no longer hold
  D         G    D   Em
The weight of all you want to put inside
          C   D
So I gotta tear it down
             G
'Cause I want to build a house
