Intro: E A
B A
It took me awhile to see things as they were

I let myself get used to drowning in the hurt
E B
Against the wall, who'd of thought, it was me
C#m A E
C#m B
I kicked down all the walls and started all over
Chorus:
E F#m G#m A
And I don't paint myself into corners anymore
E B
In a brittle heart of clay I threw my brushes away
E F#m G#m C#m
The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me
A
Are out the door
A(one strum) E
I don't paint myself into corners anymore
E A E A
B A
When you left you left me with no other choice all
E B
But to sink, to my knees, and cry
A
I never knew just how far a soul could fall
E B
Like a rock, couldn't stop, didn't try
C#m A E
I locked myself behind shades of misery
C#m B
But when I let you go I set myself free
CHORUS

E F#m G#m C#m
The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me

Are out the door

Note-If you're new and you don't like bar chords much you could probably
play this song without the F#m and G#m in the chorus by just continuing to
strum the E. It wouldn't make that big a difference to the song.
