I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners

Artist: Trisha Yearwood

Album: Inside Out

*Capo 1 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

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.
