C5
Little boy, 6 years old
                     F5
A little too used to bein' alone
C5
Another new mom and dad, another school
                      F5
Another house that'll never be home

A5
When people ask him
G5                   F5
how he likes this place
         A5               G5                      F5
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face


                       C5
This is my temporary home
                   G5
It's not where I belong
             A5        G5              F5
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
                C5                             G5
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
          A5     G5        F5
I'm not afraid because I know
         G5
this is my
         C5
temporary home.

C5
Young mom on her own
                              F5
She needs a little help got nowhere to go.
        C5
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out
                              F5
Because a half-way house will never be a home

   A5
At night she whispers
G5             F5
to her baby girl:
    A5
Someday we'll find a
G5                         F5
place here in this world

                       C5
This is our temporary home
                    G5
It's not where we belong
             A5          G5              F5
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through
                C5                                G5
This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going
          A5     G5        F5
I'm not afraid because I know
         G5
this is our
         C5
temporary home.

C5 - G5 - A5 - G5 - F5

C5
Old man, hospital bed
                         F5
The room is filled with people he loves
                      A5
And he whispers don't cry for me
     G5              F5
I'll see you all someday
         A5           G5               F5
He looks up and says "I can see God's face."

                      C5
This is my temporary home
                   G5
It's not where I belong
             A5        G5              F5
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
                C5                             G5
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
          A5     G5         F5
I'm not afraid because I know
         G5
this is my
         C5
temporary home

G5 - A5

G5                    C5
