A little too used to bein' alone

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
[Chorus]
G
This is our temporary home
D
It's not where we belong
Em Cadd9
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through

This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going

temporary home.

He looks up and says "I can see God's face."
[Chorus]
G
This is our temporary home
D
It's not where we belong
Em Cadd9
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through

This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
