[Verse 1]
The Fmaj7smoke that clouds my Gmind has left me Cbroken
And the Fmaj7shoes upon my Gfeet are tired and Amworn
Fmaj7Left you with Gmany words unsCpoken
Hope the Fmaj7one you love now Gshelters you from the Cstorm
[Chorus]
AmI can't remember GBoston if I Ctried
AmOr the party where we Gboth tripped the Clights
Or the Fmaj7songs that we Gdanced to on that Cbasement radioAm  
Or the Fmaj7winter walking Ghome through the Amsnow
Or the Fmaj7winter walking Ghome through the Csnow
[Verse 2]
Left Fmaj7New York with a Gchip upon my shouldCer
Left Fmaj7Carolina with a Gsky full of Cgrey
Met a Fmaj7girl who told me Gabout the bars in CNashville
But I Fmaj7barely have the Gscratch to pay my Cway
[Chorus]
AmI can't remember GBoston if I Ctried
AmOr the party where we Gboth tripped the Clights
AmOr the songs that we Gdanced to on that Cbasement radiAmo
Or the Fmaj7winter walking Ghome through the Amsnow
Or the Fmaj7winter walking Ghome through the Csnow
[Verse 3]
Does Fmaj7lightning strike down Gtwice in a man's Clife?
All the Fmaj7days flying as Gquickly as they Amseem
I been Fmaj7picking up the Gparts, they’re not Cfitting like the uAmsed to
I'll just Fmaj7let this boat of Gmine float away down Amstream
I'll just Fmaj7let this boat of mGine float away down Cstream
[Chorus]
AmI can't remember GBoston if I Ctried
AmOr the party where we Gboth tripped the Clights
Or the Amsongs that we Gdanced to on that Cbasement radiAmo
Or the Fmaj7winter walking Ghome through the Amsnow
Or the Fmaj7winter walking Ghome through the Fmaj7snowC

[Intro]

Fmaj7 G C

Fmaj7 G Am

Fmaj7 G C Am

Fmaj7 G C

[Verse 1]

Fmaj7 G C

The smoke that clouds my mind has left me broken

Fmaj7 G Am

And the shoes upon my feet are tired and worn

Fmaj7 G C

Left you with many words unspoken

Fmaj7 G C

Hope the one you love now shelters you from the storm

[Chorus]

Am G C

I can't remember Boston if I tried

Am G C

Or the party where we both tripped the lights

Fmaj7 G C Am

Or the songs that we danced to on that basement radio

Fmaj7 G Am

Or the winter walking home through the snow

Fmaj7 G C

Or the winter walking home through the snow

[Verse 2]

Fmaj7 G C

Left New York with a chip upon my shoulder

Fmaj7 G C

Left Carolina with a sky full of grey

Fmaj7 G C

Met a girl who told me about the bars in Nashville

Fmaj7 G C

But I barely have the scratch to pay my way

[Chorus]

Am G C

I can't remember Boston if I tried

Am G C

Or the party where we both tripped the lights

Am G C Am

Or the songs that we danced to on that basement radio

Fmaj7 G Am

Or the winter walking home through the snow

Fmaj7 G C

Or the winter walking home through the snow

[Verse 3]

Fmaj7 G C

Does lightning strike down twice in a man's life?

Fmaj7 G Am

All the days flying as quickly as they seem

Fmaj7 G C Am

I been picking up the parts, they’re not fitting like the used to

Fmaj7 G Am

I'll just let this boat of mine float away down stream

Fmaj7 G C

I'll just let this boat of mine float away down stream

[Chorus]

Am G C

I can't remember Boston if I tried

Am G C

Or the party where we both tripped the lights

Am G C Am

Or the songs that we danced to on that basement radio

Fmaj7 G Am

Or the winter walking home through the snow

Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 C

Or the winter walking home through the snow
