[Ab] .
I'm building, [Db] but the [Ab] walls they take forever.
I [Db] guess I painted [Fm] over wallpaper [Eb] instead of scraping it off.
[Ab] I'm filling, guess I thought it would be easier .
To cover up [Fm] holes by hanging [Eb] pretty things on the wall.
I [Ab] had to do a little bit of undoing [Eb] to do it right.
[Ab] I had to do a little bit of [Fm] unlearning [Eb] to see the light .
I [Ab] wanna [Db] build a house, [Eb] sturdy [Ab] and unshaken.
But first I gotta [Db] tear down, .
[Eb] what I thought [Ab] that I could make it.
Cause the walls could no [Db] longer hold, [Eb] the weight of all [Ab] you wanna [Gm] put inside.
[Fm] So I gotta [Ab] [Db] tear it down, [Eb] cause I wanna [Ab] build a house .
I'm learning, [Db] that I thought I knew [Ab] the best way .
[Db] You probably tried to tell me [Fm] gently, but still [Eb] I demanded it was right.
[Ab] I noticed, [Db] that I know less [Ab] than I did before .
[Db] But you think [Fm] that is beautiful, and [Eb] you've been waiting for that.

A place where you [Eb] can remove, a place [Ab] you can [Db] redecorate.
A place where I've [Eb] addressed the things that need to [Fm] change.
And a place that you [Eb] can use, a place where you will [Db] say.
Well done now, [Eb] you've built me a house .
