[Verse]
C F C
No sir, I'm not homeless, my home is in the street
F C
I'm not some lonely person down there begging round your feet
F C G/B Am G
Somehow we stay warm and cozy huddled in the wind
F C G C
No sir, I'm not homeless, we just need a house to put it in
C F C G/B Am
You see daddy lost his good job last No- vem- ber
Dm G
And we were way behind on rent by then
C F C G/B Am G
Mom and dad said, " Baby, always hold your head up high
F G C
Yeah, and always keep your backside to the wind"

No sir, I'm not homeless, my home is in the street

[Verse]
C F
At first they looked just like another family down on their luck
C
Searching for shelter in a storm
F
But it was then I noticed something different
C
I think more in attitude than in appearance
F
And though it was rather cold that morning
C G/B Am G
As I stepped closer to their circle it seemed to radiate warmth
F C
And in this little girls eyes were a light
G
And as I asked her about being homeless
C
She proudly raised her head and said it right
C F C
No sir, I'm not homeless, my home is in the street
F C
We're not some lonely people down here begging round your feet
F C G/B Am G F
Somehow we stay warm and cozy huddled in the wind
C G
No sir, I'm not homeless, we just need a house to put it in
[Outro]
