Album: The Marvelous Grief
Standard tuning
Capo 5th Fret
[Verse 1]
C/G G
If it's time that you want , if it's space that you need,
Am F
Then darling go find it, that's all right by me
C/G G
I'll be building a house that you may never see
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
[Verse 2]
C/G G
Just know that you have the respect you deserve,
Am F
As you cling to your courage and your efforts to serve.
C/G G
The conviction you hold from the lessons you've learned
Am G F
As you whispered that I'd be alright,
Am G F
And that I needed to learn how to fight.
[Chorus]
C/G G
So whenever you come back from wherever you roam,
Am F
I'll be building a house, that just might be our home.
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone,
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
[Verse 3]
C/G G
The most beautiful thing that I've ever seen,
Am F
Was the face of my lover as she turned to leave.
C/G G
And she kissed me as if she was some sort of queen,
Am G F
And I suddenly realized that she was.
Am G F
And what a fool I have been with her love.
[Verse 4]
C/G G
Somehow I think if I write enough songs,
Am F
I can win back the time, and the things I've done wrong.
C/G G
And you'll hear one one day, and you'll admit you belong,
Am G F
Here with me, in the house that I've made
Am G F
Cause this bed's way too big for me anyways.
{Chorus]
C/G G
So whenever you come back from wherever you roam,
Am F
I'll be building a house, that just might be our home.
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone,
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
[Verse 5]
C/G G
So love if you come out to one of the shows,
Am F
And you hear me still strumming this old song alone,
C/G G
Just know that I saved you your old microphone.
Am G F
And I've finally learned to fight.
Am G F
And you can tell me that you are alright.
[Chorus]
C/G G
So whenever you come back from wherever you roam,
Am F
I'll be building a house, that just might be our home.
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone,
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
[Verse 6]
C/G G
If you find a love who does what i could not do,
Am F
As you discover yourself while you toil through school
C/G G
Cast your memory back to this old fool,
Am G F
That is working his hands to the bone.
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
[Chorus]
C/G G
So whenever you come back from wherever you roam,
Am F
I'll be building a house, that just might be our home.
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone,
Am G F
I'll be working my hands to the bone.
