[Intro]
G D C
G D C
[Verse]
G
In a one bedroom apartment over
D
her grandma's garage
Em
Just a couple crazy kids in love
C
That's where this story starts
G
We weren't afraid of nothing
D
'Cause we didn't have a clue
Em D
Some stick on tiles and a coat of paint
C
And we turned that house into
Em D C
A hooo-o-ome
[Chorus]
G
It wasn't built in a day
D
Didn't happen over night
Em7
Took a lot of ups and downs
C
A lot of wrongs and rights
G
I did a lot of hangin' on
D
When I wanted to let go
Em
Took a lot of years and tears
D C G
And prayers but now we know
Am C D
That hooo-o-ome
G D C
Wasn't built in a day
[Verse]
G
The numbers on the mailbox
D
Ain't the only thing that changed
Em
When you handed me that test
C
And then a book of baby names
G
It wouldn't be the last time
D
I'd see that glow again
Em D
After two turned into three
C
turned into four turned into ten
Em D C
It filled our ho-o-ome
[Chorus]
G
It wasn't built in a day
D
Didn't happen over night
Em
Took a lot of ups and downs
C
A lot of wrongs and rights
G
You did a lot of hangin' on
D
When you wanted to let go
Em7
Took a lot of years and tears
D C G
And prayers but now we know
Am C D
That hooo-o-ome
Em7
Wasn't built in a day
D C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Em D C
Ahhh, ah ah ah, ah ah
[Break]
Em7 D C
The days were long but the years flew by
Em D C
These pictures on the wall show me why
Em7 D C
The story of you and I
[Chorus]
G
It wasn't built in a day
D
Didn't happen over night
Em
It took a lot of ups and downs
C
A lot of wrongs and rights
G
We did a lot of hangin' on
D
When we wanted to let go
Em7
It took a lot of years and tears
D C G
And prayers but now we know
Am C D
That hooo-o-ome
G D C
Wasn't built in a day
[Outro]
G D
It wasn't built in a daaay-a-ay
C
Ah ahh ah
