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

                             F                C 
screen door's broken paint's peeling from the wood 
Am                             G         F 
locals whisper when they gonna leave the neighborhood

make your child a home and start anew
