Tom: C

C                      Dm
I wanna come home to a dog that wags his tail
Em                     F
I wanna come home to a ship that doesn't sail
C                       Dm
I wanna come home and I wanna go to work
Em                       F
I wanna come home and be just another jerk

C                        Dm
I wanna be there for the start of every season
Em                            F
Head back to Fenway, yeah, it seems like a good reason
C                         Dm               Em           F
To go home to friends and family, the best thing I ever did
C            Dm            Em      F        G
I may be far away, but I'm still a hometown kid

[Chorus]
F          C                 F
So take me back to where I'm from
          C                F
Where I'm hated, where I'm loved
                          G
Whеre they welcomе me and raised me
G
To be the man that I've become
Dm             F                               Dm
Each time I go away I wish to God that I could stay
                        F
Here with you all every day
             G

C                            Dm
I wanna be back where people tell it like it is
Em                      F
Everyone remembers, but nobody forgives
        C              Dm       Em              F
I wanna be home by the ocean so I can smell the sea
        C           Dm             Em                F       G
I wanna be around a bunch of salty knuckleheads like you and me

[Chorus]
F          C                 F
So take me back to where I'm from
          C                F
Where I'm hated, where I'm loved
                          G
Where they welcome me and raised me
G
To be the man that I've become
Dm             F                               Dm
Each time I go away I wish to God that I could stay
