In the church just down the street

And they said, "Did you not hear the news?" and say he says, "What news?" He
                               C                  D

come back and tell me 'cause I want to go and adore him too." And he was only

And tuck him underneath my jacket so

We'll stay warm through the night
    Am
And as we lie in the bell-tower high
    Em               Bm
And dream of days to come
    Am
The bells o'er head will call the hours
     Em          C      D
Some day we will find a home
G                  D/F#        G       C      D
Maybe I can find a place I can call my home

Maybe I can find a home I can call my own
G                  D/F#        G       C      D
Maybe I can find a place I can call my home
