[Intro]
C    F
[Verse]
C 
Little boy, 6 years old 
                     F 
A little too used to bein' alone 
C 
Another new mom and dad, another school 
                      F 
Another house that'll never be home  
Am 
When people ask him 
G                   F 
how he likes this place 
         Am               G                      F 
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face
[Chorus]
                       C 
This is my temporary home 
                   G 
It's not where I belong 
             Am        G              F 
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through 
                C                             G 
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going 
          Am     G        F 
I'm not afraid because I know 
         G 
this is my 
         C       F 
temporary home
[Verse]
C 
Young mom on her own 
                              F 
She needs a little help got nowhere to go. 
        C 
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out 
                              F 
Because a half-way house will never be a home  
   Am 
At night she whispers 
G             F 
to her baby girl: 
    Am 
Someday we'll find a 
G                         F 
place here in this world
[Chorus]
                       C 
This is our temporary home 
                    G 
It's not where we belong 
             Am          G              F 
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through 
                C                                G 
This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going 
          Am     G        F 
I'm not afraid because I know 
         G 
this is our 
         C     G  Am  G  F 
temporary home
[Verse]
C 
Old man, hospital bed 
                         F 
The room is filled with people he loves 
                      Am 
And he whispers don't cry for me 
     G              F 
I'll see you all someday 
         Am           G               F 
He looks up and says "I can see God's face."
[Chorus]
                      C 
This is my temporary home 
                   G 
It's not where I belong 
             Am                       F 
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through 
                C                             G 
This was just a stop, on the way to where I'm going 
          Am     G         F 
I'm not afraid because I know 
         G 
this was my 
         C      F 
temporary home 
                    C       F 
This is our temporary home
