Proud Of The House We Built

[F#m]

I d[F#m]ropped to my knees in that feild on your daddy's farm.

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

While o[G#m]ther kids went diving into swimming holes,

        [b]                    [C#m]
You and me dove off into the great unknown.

We were b[F#m]arely gettin' by, takin' care of each other.

Then I became a daddy; you became a mother.

Was an u[G#m]phill battle nearly every day,

         [b]                           [C#m]
Lookin' back I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm p[F#m]roud of the house we built. [C#m]

It's s[D#]tronger than sticks, stones, and [C#m]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.

Oh, I'm proud[G#m].

I'm proud of the house we built.

Still w[F#m]orkin' our way through the land of milk and honey.

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

I c[G#m]lose my eyes at night and I still feel

          [b]                                   [C#m]
The same fire in my heart I fell out in that field

(REPEAT CHORUS:)

[Am]Oh, look at us tod[G#m]ay.

[A#m]Oh, we've come such a l[G#m]ong long way.

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
