Verse:
G Em
Two months since you got back
G
How have you been and are you bored yet?
G Em
The weather ain’t been bad
G
If you’re into masochistic bullshit
G Em
And every photograph
G
That’s taken here is from the summer
G Em
Some guy won Olympic gold
C G
Eight years ago, a distance runner
G
And that makes a lot of sense
Em C G
This place is such great motivation
G Em
For anyone tryna move
C
The f**k away from hibernation
G
Yoo-hoo
Am C
Ooh, ooh-ooh
G A C
Oh, no
Pre-chorus:
G Em
Well, I grew up in the fallout
C G
From the riots in the nineties
G Em
Static cranes stand lifeless
C G
Casting shadows on the town
G Em
I stare out that hallowed ocean
C G
As if to pick a fight
G Em
For the dreams my old man dreamt for me
C
Lay on the other side, yeah
Chorus:
G Em
I would leave if only
D C
I could find a reason
G Em
I’m mean because
D C
I grew up in New England
G Em
I got dreams but
D C
I can’t make myself believe them
Em D
Spendin’ the rest of my life
G C
With what could have been
Em D
And I will die in the house
G C
That I grew up in
Post-chorus:
G
I’m homesick
C
I’m homesick
G
I’m homesick
Am C
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Chorus:
G Em
I would leave if only
D C
I could find a reason
G Em
I’m mean because
D C
I grew up in New England
G Em
I got dreams but
D C
I can’t make myself believe them
Em D
Spendin’ the rest of my life
G C
With what could have been
Em D
And I will die in the house
G C
That I grew up in
Post-chorus:
G
I’m homesick

I’m homesick
G
I’m homesick
