Intro
D# A# Cm A# G# A#
D# A# Cm A#
I'm flying out to San Francisco
G#
It's been a long time coming;
A#
everybody stood and saw me running
D# A#/D Cm A#
And when they ask me what I miss though
G#
I'll say I miss the big time;
A#
sitting at home with a bottle of red wine
[Verse 1]
Cm G# D# A#
Ain't it sad how the world just falls apart
Cm G# D# A#
When you think you had it all you were really sitting in the dark
Cm G# D# A#
And you got the taste of remedy some thousand miles gone
Cm G# A#
Thinking maybe this is where I belong
[Chorus]
D# A# Cm A#
I'm flying out to San Francisco
G#
It's been a long time coming;
A#
everybody stood and saw me running
D# A#/D Cm A#
And when they ask me what I miss though
G# A#
I'll say I miss the big time
[Verse 2]
Cm G# D# A#
And now my family is seeing me as cold
Cm G# D# A#
I was hoping I could make anew by visiting the old
Cm G# D# A#
Common household in the valley next to schooling for the young
Cm G# A#
Seems the renovation's recently begun
[Verse 3]
Cm G# D# A#
And now the kids have grown; the family is small
Cm G# D# A#
Two have headed for the eastern blocks; another made the call
Cm G# D# A#
To try and keep the family alive at least the best he can
Cm G# D# A#
While the youngest two just haven't made their plan
[Chorus]
D# A# Cm A#
I'm flying out to San Francisco
G#
It's been a long time coming;
D# A#/D Cm A#
And when they ask me what I miss though
G# A#
I'll say I miss the big time
