Capo 4

(G)Tear down the (G/F#)house that (C)I grew up (G)in
I'll never (D)be the (C)same (G)again
(G)And take every(G/F#)thing that (C)I've (G)collected
(G)And throw it (C)in a (G)pile

Bulldoze the woods that I ran through
Carry the pictures of me and you
I have no memory of who I once was

And I don't remember your name

Park the old car that I loved the best
Inspection's due, and it won't pass the test
It's funny how I have to put it to rest
And how one day I will join it

I remember cryin' over you
And I don't mean like a couple of tears and I'm blue
I'm talkin about collapsin and screamin at the moon
But I'm a better man for havin gone through it
Yes I'm a better man for havin' gone through

Ever since I learned how to curse
I've been using those sorry old words
But I'm talkin' to these children
And I'm keepin' it clean
I don't need those words to say what I mean,
No, I don't need those words to say what I mean

Tear down the house that I grew up in
I'll never be the same again
Take everything that I used to own
And burn it in a pile

Bulldoze the woods that I ran through
Carry the pictures of me and you
I have no memory of who I once was
And I don't remember your name
