[Intro]
E    B   C#m   B   A  B


E           B      C#m         B
I'm flying out to San Francisco
A
It's been a long time coming;
B
everybody stood and saw me running
E                B/D#            C#m    B
And when they ask me what I miss though
A
I'll say I miss the big time;
B
sitting at home with a bottle of red wine


[Verse 1]
C#m      A           E                B
Ain't it sad how the world just falls apart
          C#m             A                     E             B
When you think you had it all you were really sitting in the dark
        C#m               A             E            B
And you got the taste of remedy some thousand miles gone
         C#m            A          B
Thinking maybe this is where I belong


[Chorus]
E           B      C#m         B
I'm flying out to San Francisco
A
It's been a long time coming;
B
everybody stood and saw me running
E                B/D#            C#m    B
And when they ask me what I miss though
A                           B
I'll say I miss the big time


[Verse 2]
C#m      A           E                B
And now my family is seeing me as cold
          C#m           A         E             B
I was hoping I could make anew by visiting the old
        C#m               A             E            B
Common household in the valley next to schooling for the young
         C#m            A          B
Seems the renovation's recently begun

[Verse 3]
C#m      A                    E                B
And now the kids have grown; the family is small
          C#m           A                 E             B
Two have headed for the eastern blocks; another made the call
            C#m            A             E            B
To try and keep the family alive at least the best he can
         C#m                   A      E         B
While the youngest two just haven't made their plan


[Chorus]
E           B      C#m         B
I'm flying out to San Francisco
A
It's been a long time coming;
E                B/D#            C#m    B
And when they ask me what I miss though
A                           B
I'll say I miss the big time


[Outro]
