I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners Anymore - Rebecca Lynn Howard
Album: Rebecca Lynn Howard
Writers: Rebecca Lynn Howard/Trey Bruce
*Capo 3*
[Intro]
E A
B A
It took me awhile to see things as they were
E B
In the light of truth, it wasn't you, it was me
A
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
From there I couldn't look over my shoulder
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 A C#m B
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 E
Chord charts:
E X221XX
A XX222X
B 224442 (bar chord - bar 2)
C#m 446654 (bar chord - bar 4)
F#m 244222 (bar chord - bar 2)
G#m 466444 (bar chord - bar 4)
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.
