Proud Of The House We Built

Intro: F#m


   F#m
I dropped to my knees in that feild on your daddy's farm.


Asked you to marry me, all I had to give was my heart.

       G#m
While other kids went diving into swimming holes,

        B                    C#m
You and me dove off into the great unknown.

         F#m
We were barely gettin' by, takin' care of each other.


Then I became a daddy; you became a mother.

        G#m
Was an uphill battle nearly every day,

         B                           C#m
Lookin' back I wouldn't have it any other way.

     F#m                         C#m
I'm proud of the house we built.

      D#                               C#m
It's stronger than sticks, stones, and steel.

            B                   C#m
It's not a big place sittin' up high on some hill.

          B                          C#m
A lot of things will come and go but love never will.

             G#m
Oh, I'm proud.


I'm proud of the house we built.


INTRO

       F#m
Still workin' our way through the land of milk and honey.


At the end of the day there's always more bills than money.

   G#m
I close my eyes at night and I still feel

          B                                   C#m
The same fire in my heart I fell out in that field


(D PEAT CHORUS:)

Am                G#m
Oh, look at us today.

A#m                    G#m
Oh, we've come such a long long way.
