Full Song

Verse 1

G C

I’ve been thinking ’bout the old house again

G D

And the way the light came through the blinds

G C G

And the way you’d hold me in the mornin’

D

And the way you’d never mind

G C

I’ve been thinking ’bout the old truck again

G D

And the way the engine used to sound

G C G

And the way we’d drive out to the river

D

And the way we’d never turn around

Chorus

G C

And I wish I was there with you

G D

I wish I was anywhere at all

G C G

I wish I could build that old house again

D G

From the ashes where it falls

Verse 2

G C

I’ve been thinking ’bout the old songs again

G D

And the way we’d sing ’em way too loud

G C G

And the way you’d laugh when I’d forget the words

D

And the way you’d make me proud

G C

I’ve been thinking ’bout the old dreams again

G D

The kind you have when you are young

G C G

And the way we thought we had forever

D

And the way forever come and gone

Chorus

G C

And I wish I was there with you

G D

I wish I was anywhere at all

G C G

I wish I could build that old house again

D G

From the ashes where it falls

Bridge

C G D

And the memories, they visit me

Em C

Like ghosts in the dead of night

G D

And I chase ’em with the whiskey

C D

But they never lose the fight

Verse 3

G C

I’ve been thinking ’bout the old me again

G D

And the man I swore I’d never be

G C G

And the way you’d look right through my lies

D

And the truth you’d always see

G C

I’ve been thinking if I had one wish

G D

One prayer left for me to send

G C G

I’d trade every tomorrow I got left

D G

Just to live in that house again

Chorus

G C

And I wish I was there with you

G D

I wish I was anywhere at all

G C G

I wish I could build that old house again

D G

From the ashes where it falls

D G

From the ashes where it falls

Practice tip: The song uses only four chords (G, C, D, Em). Practice switching between G, C, and D until you can do it without looking at your fretting hand.
