[E] I went back to B[A]oston
[E] Back to the city you were l[A]ost in
[E] I went back to the p[A]lace
Without your face in the st[E]one[A]
[E] Walked around Harv[A]ard Square
The r[E]unaway kids are st[A]ill hanging out there
And I took the r[E]ed line
A[A]ll the way across the River Ch[E]arles[A]
S[C]ome things try and t[G]ry
But they n[D]ever fly, and they n[C]ever fly
You r[C]each up from the w[G]aves
And find that you're o[D]nly w[C]aving goodb[E]ye[A][E][A]
[E] Went walking in B[A]oston
[E] Over a bridge I [A]used to walk on
I was l[E]ooking for my heart
That I'd fl[A]ung into that sea of st[E]one[A]
Boston s[E]aid, you need not app[A]ly
[E] For your license to f[A]ly
Hey, young l[E]ady, don't look so surpr[A]ised
You know you're not al[E]one[A]
S[C]ome things try and t[G]ry
But they n[D]ever fly, and they n[C]ever fly
You r[C]each up from the w[G]aves
And find that you're o[D]nly w[C]aving goodb[E]ye[A][E][A]
[C] [G] [D] [C] [C] [G] [D] [(C)]
[E] It was Memorial [(A)]Day
[E] I went to where you [(A)]lay
There were thousands of p[E]eople
Just like [(A)]you in a giant gravey[E]ard[(A)]
[E] You came all of t[A]hat way
Looking for the s[E]ky, you got a slap [A]in the face
You had a d[E]esperate need to [A]be loved
You just got put in that pl[E]ace
You better know yo[A]ur place, boy
S[C]ome things try and t[G]ry
But they n[D]ever fly, and they n[C]ever fly
You r[C]each up from the w[G]aves
And find that you're o[D]nly w[C]aving goodb[E]ye[A][E][A]
O[E]nly w[A]aving
You're [E]only w[A]aving
You're [E]only w[A]aving
You're [E]only w[A]aving goodb[C]ye[G][D][C][C][G][D][(C)]
