Chords

[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

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

even when you're there alone

a house, a house, is a home

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
