I Don't Paint Myself into Corners Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G]
[D][G]
[A]

[Verse 1]
[A]It took awhile for me
to see [G]things as they were
In the light of [D]truth
It wasn't you, it was [A]me
I let myself get used [G]to drown
ing in the hurt
Against the [D]wall
Who'd of thought, it was [A]me
[Bm]From there I couldn't even
look [G]over my [D]shoulder
[Bm]I kicked down all the walls
and [A]started all over

[Verse 2]
I don't [D]paint my[Em]self [D]into [G]corners anymore
In a [D]brittle heart of clay
[A]I threw my brushes away
The [D]tools of [Em]the trade that
[D]chained your [Bm]memory to me
Are out [G]the door
[D]I don't paint mys[G]elf into corners
[D]anymore
[G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
[A]When you left you left me with
no [G]other choice at all
But to [D]sink
To my knees, and [A]cry
I never knew just how [G]far a soul could fall
Like a [D]rock
I couldn't stop, didn't [A]try
[Bm]I locked myself behind
[G]shades of [D]mystery
[Bm]But when I let you go,
[A]I set myself free

[Verse 4]
I don't [D]paint my[Em]self [D]into [G]corners anymore
In a [D]brittle heart of clay
[A]I threw my brushes away
The [D]tools of [Em]the trade that
[D]chained your [Bm]memory to me
Are out [G]the door
[D]I don't p[G]aint myself into corners
[D]anymore
[G][Bm][A]

[Verse 5]
The [D]tools of [Em]the trade that
[D]chained your [Bm]memory to me
Are out [G]the door
[D]I don't p[G]aint myself i[D]n[Em][D]
[G]to corners [D]anymore

[Outro 1]
