Verse 1
I know they s[C]say you can't go home again
[Em] I just had to come back one last time
[F]Ma'am, I know you don't know me from Adam
But these [C]handprints on the front steps are [G]mine
 
 
Verse 2
Up those [C]stairs in that little back bedroom
Is where I [Em]did my homework and I learned to play guitar
Now I [F]bet you didn't know under that live oak
My [C]favorite dog is buried in the [G]yard
 
 
Chorus
I [F]thought if I could touch this place or [C]feel it
This [Dm]brokenness inside me might start [C]healing
Out [F]here it's like I'm someone else
I [Am]thought that maybe I could find m[F]myself
If [C]I could just come in I swear I'll l[F]leave
Won't take nothing but a [C]memory from the ho[G]house that built[C]built me
 
 
Verse 3
Mama [C]cut out pictures of houses for years
From "[Em]"Better Homes and Garden" magazine
Plans were d[F]drawn and concrete poured, nail by nail and board by board
[C] Daddy gave life to mama's dre[G]dream
 
 
Chorus
I [F]thought if I could touch this place or [C]feel it
This [Dm]brokenness inside me might start [C]healing
Out [F]here it's like I'm someone else
I [Am]thought that maybe I could find m[F]myself
If [C]I could just come in I swear I'll l[F]leave
Won't take nothing but a [C]memory from the ho[G]house that built[C]built me
 
 
Bridge
You [Am]leave home, you move on and you [C]do the best you can
[Dm]I got lost in this whole world and for[F]forgot who I [G]am
 
 
Chorus
I [F]thought if I could touch this place or [C]feel it
This [Dm]brokenness inside me might start [C]healing
Out [F]here it's like I'm someone else
I [Am]thought that maybe I could find m[F]myself
If [C]I could walk around I swear I'll l[F]leave
Won't take nothing but a [C]memory from the ho[G]house that built[F]built me
