[Intro 1]
[C][E][Am][D][F][G][C][Gm][C]
[F][G]

[Verse 1]
He [C]tore down
the work of [G]17 years [C]brick [G]by [C]brick
And [G]stone by [C]stone[G]
No [C]hammer was swingin' cause
cheatin' and drinkin'
Don't [G]need no help [D]wreckin' a home
[G]Ah, but [C]when he came back through the
dust and the rubble
Of what he had once called his [F]life
[C]He [F]dropped to his knees in [C]sheer disbelief
of the [G]total destruction in[C]side

[Verse 2]
There were [C]empty closets
and [G]empty drawers
[C]And a tearstained note on the [F]kitchen floor
And [C]burning [G]memor[C]ies in the fire[G]place
[D]He [G]wai[Am]ted [G]too [C]late
to [G]say he was wrong
His [C]house was still standing
but his [F]home was gone
Brother, [C]you would [E]not be[Am]lieve[D]
[F]What you can [G]see From Your [C]Knees

[Interlude 1]
[E][Am][D][F][G][C]
[F][C]
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Right then and there in an
old sinner's [G]prayer
He [C]told things he'd [G]kept
in the [C]dark[Gm]
[C]There was no use in [G]lying cause
[C]the man who was listening
Could [G]see every [D]room in his [G]heart
[Gm]Ah, he took [C]empty whisky bottles,
little black book and all
To the fire she left on the [F]grate[C][F]
[C]Ah, [F]sometimes a man
[C]will change on his own
But [G]sometimes I tell you it [C]takes

[Verse 4]
[C]Empty closets and [G]empty drawers
And [C]a tearstained note on
the [F]kitchen floor
And [C]burning memories in the fire[G]place
[D]He [G]waited[C] to late to say he[G] was wrong
His [C]house was still standing
[F]he'd fight for his home
Brother, [C]you would [E]not be[Am]lieve,
oh [C]you would [E]not be[Am]lieve[D][D]
What [F]you can [Gm]see f[G]rom
your [C]knees

[Outro 1]
