* for key on CD* Intro: E A 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.
