Just keep strumming D right into the first verse.

D
I know they say you cant go home again
F#
I just had to come back one last time
G
Maam I know you don’t know me from Adam
A
But these handprints on the front steps are mine


D
Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
F#
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
G
I bet you didn’t know under that live oak
A
My favorite dog is buried in the yard


D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G
Out here its like Im someone else
G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
G
If I could just come in I swear Ill leave
D
Wont take nothing but a memory
D
From the house that built me


D
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
F#
From Better Homes and Gardens magazine
G
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
G
Nail by nail and board by board
A
Daddy gave life to mamas dream

D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G
Out here its like Im someone else
G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
G
If I could just come in I swear Ill leave
D
Won’t take nothing but a memory
D
From the house that built me


D
You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
A
I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am


D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G
Out here its like Im someone else
G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
G
If I could walk around I swear Ill leave
D
Wont take nothing but a memory
D
