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