[Verse 1]
G           Em7
Little Rita lost her home
C              D
20 years going up in smoke 
G        D/F#   Em7            A7   Am7
Standing in the ash of all she knew
G         D/F#   Em7
Sweets is crying on the phone
C                    Dm7
She's not quite sure where to go
        G       D     Em7             A7     Am7
And the fireman can't save the baby's shoes


[Chorus]
  Em                   A7
I know this life isn't easy
          Am7              D        G
But you'd know that I will be right here
        Em7                      A7
And you know that those are your needs, dear
    Am7             D        G   D
And someone who can dry your tears
       Em7               A7
'Cause home is where the heart is
       Am       D      G
And my heart is always near
  Em7           A7                  Am
I promise in no time that you'll be finе
    D7                   G
And everything will be alright

Alright, alright

Yеah, everything will be alright,

al....right, alright

[Verse 2]
G       D/F#    Em7
Luke is pulling out his hair
C         G         D
Sometimes life just isn't fair
     G      D/F#     Em7              A7    Am7
That Mama's boy been holding back his tears
G               Em7
Papa can't help cracking jokes
       C          G/B    Am7     
'Cause laughter's how he learned to cope
   G         D/F#    Em                A7
He can't yet say goodbye to the golden years

And someone who can dry your tears
       Em                Em7
'Cause home is where the heart is
       C        D      G
