I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners Anymore Acordes

	  * 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.
