A House is a Home
Artist: Ben & Ellen Harper 

Capo 3rd Fret

C                 F              C
a house is a home even when it's dark
Am                     G                C
even when the grass is overgrown in the yard
     C               F          C
even when the dog is too old to bark
                Am                  G             F            
and when you're sitting at the table trying not to starve
G            C
a house is a home
     F                 C
even when we've up and gone
     F                 C
even when you're there alone
G  Am        G  F         C
a house ………..a house……is a home

C                 F                   C
a house is a home even when there's ghosts
           Am                     G                C
even when you gotta run from the ones who love you most
     C                        F                C
screen door's broken paint's peeling from the wood
                Am              G             F            
locals whisper when they gonna leave the neighborhood 
G            C
a house is a home
     F                 C
even when we've up and gone
     F                 C
even when you're there alone
G  Am        G  F         C
a house ………..a house……is a home

C                            F              C
a house is a home where the chores are never done
          Am                     G             C
where you spend your whole life running to and from
             C                            F          C
and if the life that you live is not the life you choose
         Am                G       F            
make your child a home and start anew
G            C
a house is a home
     F                 C
even when we've up and gone
     F                 C
even when you're there alone
G  Am        G  F         C
a house ………..a house……is a home
