VERSE:
      D                            G                     D
Most mornings she's up before the sun even thinks about rising
      D                       G               A
Gets breakfast going and the laundry out for drying
         D                        G                    D
Makes a cup of coffee, finds her favorite front porch spot
           D                                    A
And has a few minutes with the Lord before the crazy starts
 
 
PRE-CHORUS:
     Em                G              D                 Em
She keeps this family running like a well-oiled machine
 G                  A
And never asks for anything
 
 
CHORUS:
                   D                         A
It's not just the boards in the floors, the hinges on the doors
     Bm                      G                    D
The nails in the walls that keep this place from falling
 
                   D                         A
It's not just the windows in the rooms, the shingles on the roof
     Bm                     G                   A
The bricks and stones that give this place its bones
 
            Em
She might deny it,
                 G
But we all know better
 
     A                  D    D  Gmaj7
She holds this house together
 
 
VERSE:
 D                  G                             D
She's always got a shoulder when you need one to lean on
             D                  G                       A
And you can bet she'll stay up late waiting for you to come home
         D                     G                D
She's a wife and a mother and everything in between
              D
She makes it all look easy,
                    A
Though it's harder than it seems
 
 
CHORUS:
                   D                         A
It's not just the boards in the floors, the hinges on the doors
     Bm                      G                    D
The nails in the walls that keep this place from falling
 
                   D                         A
It's not just the windows in the rooms, the shingles on the roof
     Bm                     G                   A
The bricks and stones that give this place its bones
 
            Em
She might deny it,
                 G
But we all know better
 
     A                  D    D  G    D    A
She holds this house together
 
 
BREAK:
     G                             D
For her it's second nature, never feels like a heavy load
Em                                       A
Even when the foundation cracks and the weeds start to grow
 
 
CHORUS:
                   D                         A
It's not just the boards in the floors, the hinges on the doors
     Bm                      G                    D
The nails in the walls that keep this place from falling
 
                   D                         A
It's not just the windows in the rooms, the shingles on the roof
     Bm                     G                   A
The bricks and stones that give this place its bones
 
            Em
She might deny it,
                 G
But we all know better
