Intro
G C G C D G
[Verso 1]
G
Everybody knew George and Kelly,
C G
In the little house that George had built.
G
He could turn a board into forever,
With steady hands and honest grit.
Kelly baked the pies for every fundraiser,
C G
George fixed anything that broke.
C G
They never asked for anything,
G
They just gave a little more.
[Refrão]
C
Some folks build a house,
D G
Some folks build a home.
Some folks leave a mark
D G
Long after they're gone.
Every nail, every wall,
D G D Em
Every dream still stands.
You can still see George
D G G
In the work of his hands.
[Verso 2]
G C
He never drank except independence day
G
Two cold beers and he'd light up.
G
Then he'd tell us stories from the war,
D C
While we all hung on every word.
I thought heroes lived in books,
D/F# Em C
Or somewhere on TV.
G D
Turns out one was living
G Em
Right next door to me.
[Ponte]
Bm
Then Kelly left this world,
C
And something left with her.
The porch light still came on,
D G
But the laughter disappeared.
[Verso 3]
G C G
I stayed at my parents' place one night,
G
When someone rattled at the door.
There stood George in the moonlight,
Like I'd never seen before.
C G
Barefoot in an old white diaper,
His eyes were somewhere far away.
He looked at me and softly asked,
"Have you seen Kelly today?"
I pointed toward the empty house.
He turned without a sound.
The strongest man I'd ever known
D C
Couldn't find his way around.
[Refrão]
D
Some folks build a house,
G C
Some folks build a home.
D G
Time can steal tomorrow,
But love keeps holding on.
D G
When I pass that little porch,
D Em
I still hear George's laugh.
Am D
He built more than that old house...
G
He built a piece of all of us.
Outro
C
That little house is standing still.
G
The old front porch, the weathered paint.
G D
Funny how the strongest hands
Can't always hold on to yesterday.
Maybe somewhere Kelly's smiling,
Em Am
Waiting by that open door...
G
And George is finally home again,
D G
Building forever, once more.
C D G
