Cm G B B
I was just a tourist, you got to be a big hometown hero
Cm G B B
Made you feel important, still stuck in your high school yearbook

Cm G B B
Why'd we have to cover so much ground? you showed me around
Cm G B B
As far as I'm concerned they should just burn the whole city down
♫ Chorus:
B G
How'd you make me hate Boston?

It's not its fault that you don't love me

Had its charm, but it lost it
G B
It's not its fault just a casualty
Cm B
And casual's the way you chose to leave

Hid me in your basement, god forbid, you're not the center of attention

Family confrontation probably started 'cause my name was mentioned

How'd you make me hate Boston?

The whole thing is haunted, how Do you sleep?

Oh, when you held me hostage

You must be exhausted, don't you miss me?

And casual's the way you chose to leave

And you're all over every single street
