[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G
I was born 3,000 miles from where I came alive
G Cadd9 G
And I left without saying a word to start a new life
Cadd9 G
And sometimes in some random bar you'll cut through the noise
Cadd9 G
Like a breeze in a summer heat like an old friend's voice
Cadd9 G
Boston accent
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 G
Where my brother got kicked out of school where my mom threw him out
G Cadd9 G
And my sister lives three streets over and two houses down
Cadd9 G
And my father is buried in town by his father's side
Cadd9 G
And me, I spent my whole damn life just trying to hide
Cadd9 G
My Boston accent
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G
Moving through the crowd on that first night
Em7 Cadd9 G
Lit like angels by the Citgo sign
Dadd4/F# Em7 Cadd9 G
We walked across the bridge just to kill some more time
Dsus4
Before you had to go home
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 G
Now you live in a pretty nice house out on Paul Revere road
G Cadd9 G
And you marry some guy from our class who I didn't know
Cadd9 G
And I saw you at Christmas mass and you still looked the same
Cadd9 G
I could almost feel your hands in my hands and you whisper my name
Cadd9 G
In a Boston accent
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G
We're moving through the crowd on that first night
Em7 Cadd9 G
Lit like angels by the Citgo sign
Dadd4/F# Em7 Cadd9 G
We walked across the bridge just to kill some more time
Dsus4
Before you had to go home
[Verse 4]
G Cadd9 G
Now there are doors that you can't open and some you can't close
G Cadd9 G
And my sister she's getting married in June but I don't think I'll go
Cadd9 G
And sometimes in some random bar you'll cut through the noise
Cadd9 G
Like a breeze in a summer heat like an old friend's voice
Cadd9 G
And you can change every inch of your life but you're still just a boy
Cadd9 G
With a Boston accent
[Outro]
