[Verse 1]
G
Little boy, 6 years old
                     Cadd9
A little too used to bein' alone
G
Another new mom and dad, another school
                      Cadd9
Another house that'll never be home
Em
When people ask him
D                 Cadd9
how he likes this place
Em              D                         Cadd9(Strum once)
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face
 
[Chorus]
                     G
This is my temporary home
                 D
It's not where I belong
             Em                    Cadd9
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
               G                             D
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
        Em          D    Cadd9
I'm not afraid because I know
        D
this is my
         G
temporary home.
 
[Verse 2]
G
Young mom on her own
                            Cadd9
She needs a little help got nowhere to go.
G
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out
                              Cadd9
Because a half-way house will never be a home
Em
At night she whispers
D           Cadd9
to her baby girl:
Em
Someday we'll find a
D                  Cadd9
place here in this world

Windows and rooms that we're passin' through
G                                              D
This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going
