C#

[Verse 1]
               C#
She dreams of Boston
     F#                 G#7          C#
On a rooftop with just stars overhead
             F#                G#7                   C#
Sitting with one foot hung on both sides of the ledge
                F#           G#7               C#
Staring at the city lights, hanging by a thread

[Verse 2]
              C#
He makes excuses
        F#                  G#7                    C#
And he swears he’ll try his best not to be his worst
        F#                  G#7              C#
Her sunglasses and heavy makeup hide the hurt
                 A#m                   G#7          C#
But these days “I’m sorry” don’t mean anything to her

[Chorus]
               F#
She dreams of Boston
            F#           B/F#
When she’s close to giving up
     C#                           G#7
When love just ain’t enough for her to hold
                F#
She dreams of Boston
          F#                B/F#
When she thinks of starting over
          C#                          G#7
When she needs a place to find a little hope
               F#
She dreams of Boston

[Verse 3]
            C#
It’s complicated
             F#                     G#7                  C#
How you can hate someone and still love them just the same
          F#               G#7                     C#
When the ones who mean the most cause the most pain
              A#m            G#7              C#
It’s so much harder than it seems to walk away

[Chorus]
               F#
She dreams of Boston
            F#           B/F#
When she’s close to giving up
     C#                           G#7
When love just ain’t enough for her to hold
                F#
She dreams of Boston
          F#                B/F#
When she thinks of starting over
          C#                          G#7
When she needs a place to find a little hope
               F#
She dreams of Boston

[Bridge]
              A#m               G#7
The familiar taste of falling teardrops
          F#            C#
She’s in pieces on the floor
              A#m          G#7
She tries to justify what happened
              F#            C#
Like all the other times before
           A#m         G#7
But she’s tired of forgiving
           F#                    C#
She’ll be damned if it happens again

[Post-Bridge]
                  A#m              G#7            F#
She says the only way to make it stop starts with us
             A#m              G#7            D#m
Oh, the only way to make it stop starts with us
   F#
...Ending

[Chorus]
               F#
She dreams of Boston
            F#           B/F#
When she’s close to giving up
     C#                           G#7
When love just ain’t enough for her to hold
                F#
She dreams of Boston
          F#                B/F#
When she thinks of starting over
          C#                          G#7
When she needs a place to find a little hope
               F#
She dreams of Boston
