D         G 
2010 in boston town 
  D             G 
the leaves are golden brown 
D            G 
we take the kids to town 
A           D 
to see the fair 
D             G 
big wheel is turning round 
D          G 
hear that homely sound 
D              G 
we're walking thru the crowd 
A            D 
in the evening air 
A                   D 
see our boy hold his sister near 
A              D 
until they're in the clear 
Bm          G 
you whisper in my ear 
A                  D 
that one's going to heaven 

          D          G 
          you've no idea do you 
          A         D 
          what i'll do for you 
          Bm         G 
          to have so much to lose 
          A           D 
          is the only feeling 

D       G 
i ran around my time 
D          G 
i stood in every line 
D          G 
i couldnt stop my mind 
A            D 
from dreaming of ya 
D              G 
and when i laid eyes on you 
D            G 
i knew that race was thru 
D           G 
and when i spoke to you 
A        D 
i told it so 
A             D 
you said 'i think you're a fool' 
A             D 
and i said 'i know you do' 
Bm           G 
but i'd run away with you 
A           D 
if you ask me nicely 

D     G 
2050 boston town 
D           G 
the son is sitting down 
D            G 
its the only feeling now
