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