[Intro]
  G  G/F#  Em  D  Cadd9  D

[Verse]
 G           G/F#              Em         D
  I sit here on the stairs and listen to
    Cadd9                             D
  The night time as the daylight fades away
 G            G/F#           Em          D
  It's such a haunting and familar tune
             Cadd9                         D
  And when I hear it in the distance I can say


[Chorus]
            G  G/F#     Em        D
  That I'm home in Massachusetts
         Cadd9                               D
  Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me
       G  G/F#       Em        D
  All alone, but the truth is
       Cadd9                                   D
  It's where I always am, it's where I long to be
              G  G/F#  Em  D  Cadd9  D
  Because I'm home


[Verse]
G            G/F#               Em          D
  The north shore is where my father lives
             Cadd9                              D
  I wear my Red Sox hat around the world with pride
G            G/F#              Em           D
  But the Berkshires are where my heart is
             Cadd9                             D
  And when I see them in the distance I could cry


[Chorus]
              G  G/F#     Em        D
  Because I'm home in Massachusetts
         Cadd9                               D
  Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me
       G  G/F#       Em        D
  All alone, but the truth is
       Cadd9                                   D
  It's where I always am, it's where I love to be



[Bridge]
  Em           Cadd9                         G
  Nyla started pre-school, Indie just turned two
                    D
  Zoe's just the perfect mix of me and you
  Em                Cadd9                   G
  They keep getting older, time keeps going by
                    D                             D
  To think about it makes your daddy want to cry


[Verse]
            G                    G/F#           Em           D
  So I just passed the sign that welcomes me to Worthington
              Cadd9                            D
  Established long before this country came to be
G              G/F#          Em                 D
  A place that hasn't really changed with time
                Cadd9                         D
  The way this country that I love it used to be


[Chorus]
              G  G/F#     Em        D
  Because I'm home in Massachusetts
         Cadd9                               D
  Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me
       G  G/F#       Em        D
  All alone, but the truth is
       Cadd9                                   D
  It's where I always am, it's where I love to be


[Chorus]
              G  G/F#     Em        D
  Because I'm home in Massachusetts
           Cadd9                     D
  Where my hero teaches classes everyday
               G    G/F#              Em        D
  And where my friends don't treat me different
                 Cadd9                             D
  It's where my family is, It's where I'll always stay
                G  G/F#  Em  D  Cadd9  D
  Because I'm home
