[Verse]
A D
We'd come seven hours down
A D
Took the blue line to see where we hopped out
A D
And I was only joking, I was only joking
A D
And I was only trying to get a laugh
A D
You say this was the furthest that we had come
A D
We traveled so far to watch it fall undone
A D
And I had lost my token, you were looking bent and broken
A D
Staring sideways with the rain coming down
[Chorus]
Bm E
But I am so enthralled
A
O New England
D
La da dum dum
A
O New England
D
La da dum dum
[Verse]
A D
This here is the fable of a failed attempt
(Fable, failed attempt, now.)
A D
To find new life in a love in the seat of its origin
(failed attempt, now)
A D
From Long to Coney Island, from Mid to West to Upper Highland
A D
And all I got is this ill-gotten full color souvenir
[Chorus]
Bm E
The new millennium in New York
A
And all of New England
D
La da dum dum
A
O New England
D
La da dum dum
[Bridge]
Bm
O New England
D
In the face of your empire
Bm
I think I'd rather just wait in the car
D
And return to the turnpike
E
Watching New England's skyline sinking below
A
Sinking below
D
Sinking below
[Outro]
A D
We'd come seven hours down
A D
We'd come seven hours down, down
A D
We'd come seven hours down
A D
