Capo on 3rd Fret
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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 F G F C
a house, a house, is a home
[Verse 2]
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
F C
screen door's broken paint's peeling from the wood
Am G F
locals whisper when they gonna leave the neighborhood
[Chorus]
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 F G F C
a house, a house, is a home
[Instrumental]
C F C Am G C
[Verse 3]
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
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
[Chorus]
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 F G F G F C
a house, a house, a house, is a home
