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
