 Subject: I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners - Trisha Yearwood
 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
 
 
 Chord charts:
 
 E    X221XX
 A    XX222X
 B    224442 (bar chord - bar 2)
 C#m  446654 (bar chord - bar 4)
 F#m  244222 (bar chord - bar 2)
 G#m  466444 (bar chord - bar 4)
 
 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.
