[Verse 1]
             D
I know they say you can't go home again
F#m
  I just had to come back one last time
G
Ma'am, I know you don't know me from Adam
          D                                 A
But these handprints on the front steps are mine


[Verse 2]
         D
Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
           F#m
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
      G
Now I bet you didn't know under that live oak
   D                             A
My favorite dog is buried in the yard


[Chorus]
  G                                      D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
     Em                               D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
    G
Out here it's like I'm someone else
  Bm                               G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
   D                                  G
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
                         D                 A             D
Won't take nothing but a memory from the house that built me


[Verse 3]
     D
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
      F#m
From "Better Homes and Garden" magazine
            G
Plans were drawn and concrete poured, nail by nail and board by board
D                              A
  Daddy gave life to mama's dream


[Chorus]
  G                                      D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
     Em                               D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
    G
Out here it's like I'm someone else
  Bm                               G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
   D                                  G
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
                         D                 A             D
Won't take nothing but a memory from the house that built me


[Bridge]
    Bm                              D
You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can
Em                                    G         A
I got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am


[Chorus]
  G                                      D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
     Em                               D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
    G
Out here it's like I'm someone else
  Bm                               G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
   D                                 G
If I could walk around I swear I'll leave
                         D                 A             G
Won't take nothing but a memory from the house that built me
