Tear Down the House
Second Gleam
Capo 4th
G G/f#
Tear down the house
That I grew up in
I'll never be the same again
G/f#
Take everything that I’ve collected
And throw it in a pile
G G/f#
Bulldoze the woods
That I ran through
Carry the pictures of me and you
G/f#
I have no memory of who I once was
And I don't remember your name
G G/f#
Park the old car
That I love the best
(The) inspections due and it won’t pass the test
G/f#
It’s funny how I have to put it to rest
And how one day…I will join it
G/f#
I remember crying over you
And I don't mean like a couple of tears
And I'm blue
G G/f#
I’m talkin’ about collapsing
And screaming at the moon
But I'm a better man
For having gone through it
Yes, I'm a better man
For having gone through…
G/f#
Ever since I learned how to curse
I’ve been using those sorry old words
G G/f#
But, I’m talkin’ to these children
And I’m keeping 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
G G/f#
Tear down the house
That I grew up in
I'll never be the same again
G/f#
Take everything that I used to own
And burn it in a pile
G G/f#
And, bulldoze the woods
That I ran through
Carry the pictures of me and you
G/f#
I have no memory of who I once was
And I don't remember your name
