[Intro] A D A D [Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 3]
A                                        D
  This here is the fable of a failed attempt

                         A
(Fable, failed attempt, now)

                                  D
To find new life in a love in the seat of its origin

                  A
(Failed attempt, now)

                          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

                      A/C# D
In the face of your empire

                             A/C#   Bm
I think I'd rather just wait in the car

                      A/C# D
And return to the turnpike

                       E
Watching New England's skyline

       A
Sinking below

       D
Sinking below
A D [Outro]
A                       D
  We'd come seven hours down (We'd come seven hours down)

A                       D
  We'd come seven hours down, down (We'd come seven hours down)

A                       D
  We'd come seven hours down (We'd come seven hours down)

A                       D                                  A
  We'd come seven hours down, down (We'd come seven hours down)
