[Verse]
CNo sir, I'm not Fhomeless, my Chome is in the street
I'm not some lonely Fperson down there Cbegging round your feet
Somehow we stay Fwarm and cozy Chuddled in G/Bthe windAm  G  
FNo Csir, I'm not homeless, we Gjust need a house to put it inC  
You see Cdaddy lost his Fgood job last No- Cvem- G/BberAm  
And Dmwe were way behind on rent by Gthen
CMom and dad said, " FBaby, always Chold your G/Bhead up AmhighG  
FYeah, and always keep your Gbackside to the Cwind"
CNo sir, I'm not Fhomeless, my Chome is in the street
I'm not some lonely Fperson down there Cbegging round your feet

[Verse]
At Cfirst they looked just like another Ffamily down on their luck
CSearching for shelter in a storm
But it was then I noticed something differentF  
I think more in attitude than in Cappearance
And though it was rather cold that morningF  
As I stepped closer to their Ccircle it G/Bseemed to radiate AmwarmthG  
And in this Flittle girls eyes were a Clight
And as I asked her about being Ghomeless
She proudly raised her head and Csaid it right
CNo sir, I'm not Fhomeless, my Chome is in the street
We're not some lonely Fpeople down here Cbegging round your feet
Somehow we stay Fwarm and cozy Chuddled in G/Bthe AmwindG  F  
CNo sir, I'm not homeless, Gwe just need a house to put it in
