G                C       G 
Well, my face it doesn't show 
        Am                      Em          C 
But the rest of me is listening through the walls 
             D                 C                  Em 
Well, you're trying to show me how and I’m taking notes 
       G                      C                G   Am  Em 
But my hands and feet are stumbling through it all 

C           G        C      G 
  Well, you said its simple son 
    Am                               C 
Why don't you listen when I tell you how it's done 
        Bm         G            D      Em 
Well, I told and I told you I’m trying to 
        Am                C             G 
I'm not like the other brothers I can't build a house for you 


    Em         G                 Em 
But I spend my days daydreaming away 
              D 
The chance to make you proud 
    Em        G                   Em                 D 
And I can't explain why it didn't matter then but it matters now 
      Em   D      G 
And I know you've tried 

          Am                      G 
You still taught me more than you ever knew 
    C                 D                 G   C G  Am G C  D 
And someday soon I’ll build a house for you 



          G         C       G 
Well, you said come with me son 
Am                      Em       C

                   G                   D              Em 
You've worked your fingers to the bone you've gone so far 
      Am               C                D 
While I have calloused fingers from the strings of this guitar 


 
    Em         G                 Em 
And I spend my days daydreaming away 
              D 
The chance to make you proud 
    Em        G                   Em                 D 
And I can't explain why it didn't matter then but it matters now 
      Em   D      G 
And I know you've tried 

          Am                      G 
You still taught me more than you ever knew 
    C                 D                 Em  Em G  D  Am 
And someday soon I’ll build a house for you 



Em                          G 
  And I’ll build a house so tall 
                      D 
Maybe I won't feel so small 
    G               Am
