Standard Tuning - Capo 1
A
I was there in my trailer, down at the job-site
E
The day that this stranger walked in
A
His face looked so sad and he carried a set of blueprints
And as I unrolled them the first thing I noticed
D
Were there were no doors in the plans
E
He said if you build this for me, then when she comes back
A
She’ll never be able to leave me again
Chorus:
D
I said if I did, and she ever came back
A
Friend, tell me how would she get in
E
It would just be a prison that I locked you in
D
If you couldn’t leave you’d never know
If there was someone who loved you
A
The way that she didn’t before
E
There’s two things that I know for sure
Is that you can’t make a woman feel something she don’t
A
And you can’t build a house with no doors
Key shift: (Everything is raised up two steps)
D = E
A = B
E = F#
For a while he was quite, I could tell he was thinking
I thought I just ruined his day
I just couldn’t bare to see this mans last hope slip away
So I thought real fast, and I started talking said
Buddy, we’ve tried this before
And if there ain’t one she’ll make on
And either way, she’ll run
And leave you a house with a hole for a door
Chorus:
with these lines after:
No, you can’t make a woman feel something she don’t
And you can’t build a house with no doors
