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
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
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."

Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
                C                             G
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
