I was ^Gborn 3,000 ^Cadd9miles from where I came^G alive And I ^Gleft without saying a ^Cadd9word to start a new^G life And some^Cadd9times in some random bar you'll cut through the ^Gnoise Like a ^Cadd9breeze in a summer heat like an old friend's ^Gvoice ^Cadd9Boston a^Gccent

[Verse 2]

Where my ^Gbrother got kicked out of ^Cadd9school where my mom threw him^G out And my ^Gsister lives three streets ^Cadd9over and two houses^G down And ^Cadd9my father is buried in town by his father's ^Gside And ^Cadd9me, I spent my whole damn life just trying to ^Ghide My ^Cadd9Boston a^Gccent

[Chorus]

Moving through the ^Em7crowd on ^Cadd9that first ^Gnight Lit like ^Em7angels by the ^Cadd9Citgo ^Gsign We walked a^Dadd4/F#cross the ^Em7bridge just to ^Cadd9kill some more ^Gtime Before you had to go ^Dsus4home

[Verse 3]

Now you ^Glive in a pretty nice ^Cadd9house out on Paul Revere ^Groad And you ^Gmarry some guy from our ^Cadd9class who I didn't^G know And I ^Cadd9saw you at Christmas mass and you still looked the^G same I could ^Cadd9almost feel your hands in my hands and you whisper my^G name In a ^Cadd9Boston ^Gaccent

[Chorus]

We're moving through the ^Em7crowd on ^Cadd9that first ^Gnight Lit like ^Em7angels by the ^Cadd9Citgo ^Gsign We walked a^Dadd4/F#cross the ^Em7bridge just to ^Cadd9kill some more ^Gtime Before you had to go ^Dsus4home

[Verse 4]

Now there are ^Gdoors that you can't ^Cadd9open and some you can't^G close And my ^Gsister she's getting married in ^Cadd9June but I don't think I'll^G go And some^Cadd9times in some random bar you'll cut through the^G noise Like a ^Cadd9breeze in a summer heat like an old friend's^G voice And you can ^Cadd9change every inch of your life but you're still just a^G boy With a ^Cadd9Boston ^Gaccent
