Massachusetts

[G]  [G/f#]  [Em]  [D]  [Cadd9]  [D]

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

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

[Em]Nyla started [Cadd9]pre-school, Indie just turned [G]two
Zoe's just the per[D]fect mix of me and you
[Em]They keep getting [Cadd9]older, time keeps going [G]by
To think about it [D]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

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
