[Intro]
B E F# G#m E F#
B E F# B C#m F# B
[Verse]
E F# E F#
Well, I've been away such a long time now
E F# E F#
And my life has changed so much
E F# E F#
And I broke my promise that no matter how
E F# C#m7 F#
I would always keep in touch
[Verse]
E F# E F#
I could hear the whistle of the telephone wires
E F# E F#
I could hear the trains roll by
E F# B F#
If I can hear the whistle and the engine's whine
C#m7 F#
Why can't I hear you cry
[Chorus]
B E F# G#m
'Cause home is where the heart is
E F# E F# G#m C#m
Who's that knocking on your front door?
F# B
Is it the friend that you never knew?
E C#m F#
Well, why don't you make sure
B E F# G#m
Home is where the heart is
E F# E F# G#m C#m
Three short steps across the floor
F# B
Into the arms of the one who loves you
E C#m F#
And never roam no more
[Instrumental]
B E F# G#m E F# G#m
C#m F# B E B C#m B F#
[Verse]
E F# E F#
Well you tracked me down to this foreign town
E F# E F#
Your long distance call came through
E F# E F#
And a voice that I'd not heard for years
E F# C#m7 F#
Said, "Darlin', is that you?"
[Verse]
E F# G#m F#
And a voice of my own said, "I'll be home
B F# E F#
When I get these wheels to start
E F# B F#
And it's not my promise that I'll break this time
E F# E F#
But someone else's heart"
[Chorus]
B E F# G#m
'Cause home is where the heart is
E F# E F# G#m C#m
Guess who's knocking on your front door?
F# B
Is this the friend that you never knew?
E C#m F#
Well, why don't you make sure
B E F# G#m
Home is where the heart is
E F# E F# G#m C#m
Take those steps across the floor
F# B
Into the arms of the one who loves you
E C#m F#
And never roam no more
[Outro]
