[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

[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
