VERSE I (REPEAT INTRO)  
In the light of the sun, is there anyone? oh it has begun...  
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed  
this world you must've crossed... you said...

VERSE II (SAME AS VERSE I)  
Essential and appealed, carry all your thoughts across  
an open field,  
when flowerd gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry  
when they see you  
you said....  
  
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...
