Artist: George Strait
[G]I was there in my trailer, down at the job-site
The day that this stranger walked [D]in
His face looked so sad and he carried a set of blue[G]prints
And as I unrolled them the first thing I noticed
Were there were no doors in the [C]plans
He said if y[D]ou build this for me, then when she comes back
She'll never be able to leave me [G]again
[CHORUS]
I said if I [C]did, and she ever came back
Friend, tell me how would she get [G]in
It would just be a prison that I locked you [D]in
If you couldn't [C]leave you'd never know
If there was someone who loved you
The way that she didn't [G]before
There's two things that I know for [D]sure
Is that you can't make a woman feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no [G]doors
Key shift: (up two steps)
[C] = [D]
[G] = [A]
[D] = [E]
[A]For a while he was quite, I could tell he was thinking
I thought I just ruined his [E]day
I just couldn't bare to see this man's last hope slip [A]away
So I thought real fast, and I started talking said
Buddy, we've tried this be[E]fore
And if there ain't one she'll make on
And either way, she'll run
And leave you a house with a hole for a [A]door
[CHORUS]
I said if I [D]did, and she ever came back
Friend, tell me how would she get [A]in
It would just be a prison that I locked you [E]in
If you couldn't [D]leave you'd never know
If there was someone who loved you
The way that she didn't [A]before
There's two things that I know for [E]sure
Is that you can't make a woman feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no [A]doors
No, you can't make a woman feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no [A]doors
The day that this stranger walked [D]in
His face looked so sad and he carried a set of blue[G]prints
And as I unrolled them the first thing I noticed
