Tom: G
G C G
I've been waiting in San Francisco
C G
To know you still care
D Em
Don't let that white bird fly
G C G
Then I know you won't be there
C G
I'll be sitting by my phone
C G
Waiting for you to call
D G
But I feel those winds have stopped now
C
Round our words we built a wall
G C G
I hope one day that wind will blow
C G
Warm on my face
D G
And you ride down upon it
C G G D
With steel wings and open lace
Em G
I just hope one day you will land
C G D
Back on that doldrums shore in love I stand
Em G
We can break down that yellow stonewall
C G D
And let our words sail on the wind again
[Verse 2]
Em G
I've been waiting in San Francisco
C G
To know you still care
D Em
Don't let that white bird fly
G C G
Then I know you won't be there
[Instrumental]
G
[Verse 3]
G C G
I won't ask for your forgiveness
C G
As it floats in the wind
D G
I'll let the light bring it
C G G D
As it shines down on me
Em
But before I feel that sunlight
C G D
Warm upon my face
Em
I'll be cold inside
C
And my words will lose pride
G D Em
As the sun sets its place
Am
My words will be frozen
C
As they float across the sea
Am
Only your warmth will melt them
G D Em
For you to hear me
[Outro]
G
I've been waiting in San Francisco
C G
To know you still care
D Em
Don't let that white bird fly
G C G
Then I know you won't be there
C G
I wish that I could hold you
C G
And you wouldn't freeze inside
D Em
My touch is too cold now
C Am G
In dark regret I still hide
