Intro

[G/f#]

Verse

[G/f#]

I sit here on the stairs and listen to

 The night time as the daylight fades away

[G/f#]

It's such a haunting and familar tune

 And when I hear it in the distance I can say

Chorus

  [G/f#]

That I'm home in Massachusetts

 Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me

  [G/f#]

All alone, but the truth is

 It's where I always am, it's where I long to be

  [G/f#]

Because I'm home

The north shore is where my father lives

I wear my Red Sox hat around the world with pride

But the Berkshires are where my heart is

And when I see them in the distance I could cry

Chorus

Bridge

Nyla started pre-school, Indie just turned two

 Zoe's just the perfect mix of me and you

They keep getting older, time keeps going by

 To think about it makes your daddy want to cry

So I just passed the sign that welcomes me to Worthington

Established long before this country came to be

A place that hasn't really changed with time

The way this country that I love it used to be

Chorus

Because I'm home in Massachusetts

Where my hero teaches classes everyday

And where my friends don't treat me different

It's where my family is, It's where I'll always stay

Because I'm home

Good luck---Mike
