And I (Bb)bet you did n’t know and nail by un der that live oak my (F)fav ’rite dog is bur ied in the (Csus)yard.

I (Bb)thought if I could touch this place or (F)feel it,

this (Gm7)brok en ness in side me might start (F)heal in’.

Out (Bb)here it’s like I’m some one else.

I (Dm)thought that may be I could find my self.

If (F)I could just come in, I swear I’ll (Bb)leave.

Won’t take noth in’ but a (F)mem o ry
