Chorus (REPEAT PREChorus CHORDS)
She said... I think I'll go to Boston
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover, and fly 'em out to spain...
I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I'm just tired,
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear its nice in the summer, some snow would be nice...
You don't know me and you don't even care...
(REPEAT Chorus THROUGH BRIDGE)
Boston... where no one knows my name...
