[Intro]
Bm D A E
Bm D A E

[Verse 1]
Bm D A E
I was just a tourist, you got to be a big hometown hero
Bm D A E
Made you feel important, still stuck in your high school yearbook

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm D A E
Why’d we have to cover so much ground? you showed me around
Bm D A E
As far as I’m concerned they should just burn the whole city down

[Chorus]
A G
How’d you make me hate Boston?
D A
It’s not its fault that you don’t love me
A G
Had its charm, but it lost it
D A
It’s not its fault just a casualty
Bm A
And casual’s the way you chose to leave

[Verse 2]
Bm D A E
Hid me in your basement, god forbid, you’re not the center of attention
Bm D A E
Family confrontation probably started ‘cause my name was mentioned

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm D A E
I heard your father’s sleepin’ on the couch, he sure got around
Bm D A E
As far as I’m concerned they should just burn the whole city down

[Chorus]
A G
How’d you make me hate Boston?
D A
It’s not its fault that you don’t love me
A G
Had its charm, but it lost it
D A
It’s not its fault just a casualty
A G
How’d you make me hate Boston?
D A
The whole thing is haunted, how do you sleep?
A G
Oh, when you held me hostage
Bm D A
You must be exhausted, don’t you miss me?

[Outro]
Bm D A
And casual’s the way you chose to leave
Bm D A
And you’re all over every single street
