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