[Intro]
G

D                     C
It took me awhile to see things as they were
                 G                           D   Dsus   D
In the light of truth, it wasn't you, it was me
                          C
I let myself get used to drowning in the hurt
             G                             D
Against the wall, who'd of thought, it was me
Em                          C        G
From there I couldn't look over my shoulder
Em                               D
I kicked down all the walls and started all over

[Chorus]
            G      Am   G/B  C
And I don't paint myself into corners anymore
     G                               D
In a brittle heart of clay I threw my brushes away
    G            Am         G/B          Em
The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me
             C
Are out the door
         C(two strums)                 G
I don't paint myself into corners anymore

G  C  G  C

D                                 C
When you left you left me with no other choice all
        G                     D
But to sink, to my knees, and cry
                      C
I never knew just how far a soul could fall
       G                           D
Like a rock, couldn't stop, didn't try
Em                     C             G    Em
I locked myself behind shades of misery
                        D
But when I let you go I set myself free

[Chorus]
             G      Am   G/B  C
And I don't paint myself into corners anymore
     G                               D
In a brittle heart of clay I threw my brushes away
    G            Am         G/B          Em
The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me
             C
Are out the door
         C(two strums)                 G
I don't paint myself into corners anymore

[CHORUS]
G  C  Em  D

    G            Am         G/B          Em
The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me
             C
Are out the door
         C(two strums)                 G    Am   G/B
I don't paint myself into corners anymore
