** Intro: It took me awhile to see things as they were In the light of truth, it wasn't you, it was me I let myself get used to drowning in the hurt Against the wall, who'd of thought, it was me From there I couldn't look over my shoulder I kicked down all the walls and started all over And I don't paint myself into corners anymore In a brittle heart of clay I threw my brushes away The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me Are out the door I don't paint myself into corners anymore When you left you left me with no other choice all But to sink, to my knees, and cry I never knew just how far a soul could fall Like a rock, couldn't stop, didn't try I locked myself behind shades of misery But when I let you go I set myself free CHORUS The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me Are out the door I don't paint myself into corners anymore Note-If you're new and you don't like bar chords much you could probably play this song without the in the chorus by just continuing to strum the . It wouldn't make that big a difference to the song.
