Writers: Rebecca Lynn Howard/Trey Bruce
*Capo 1 for key on CD*
Intro: E MajorE A augmentedA 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
