you don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah and you said
you don't know me, you don't wear my chains... oh yeah
verse again:
essential and appealed, carry all your thoughts across
an open field,
when flowers gaze at you...they're not the only ones who cry
when they see you
you said...

you don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah and you said
you don't know me, you don't wear my chains... oh yeah

chorus lyrics:
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 it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice...
Prechorus again, but use C Em F and G chord voicings from verse:
you don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah
Final line using chorus chords: on the eigth note all downstrokes
Boston...where no one knows my name...
where no one knows my name....
where no one knows my name....
G (slow down) C (slow strum)
where no one knows my name
