Intro: A E A E
A E
Up in San Francisco where the
A E
forest meets the bridge I
A E
thought I saw you standing there and
C D
then you fell into the well
But that was many years ago
And I am so much older now
My brother is a soldier now
C D
I can't see him anyhow a
C E
hilltop in the wind
A Bm
And you, swimming uptide, or just
E D Bm
tuning into radio stations
A
A E Bm
I left my love in San Francisco
A
That's okay, I was bored anyway.
E Bm
I left my love in the room
A
That's okay, I was born in L.A.
I left my love in San Francisco.
That's okay, I was bored anyway.
I left my love in a field.
That's okay, I was born in L.A.
A E A E
And we were standing on this hill.
Jesus came from Israel.
Eyes above a sacred cow
So not to wake a sparrow splashing
But that was many years from now and
I hope from here on out
I always seem to want to shout
Your eyes are like a cup of tea
Ascending to the sun with me.
You swimming upstream, or just
Or just tuning into the new sensations
A
I was broken, you were broken
I left my love in San Francisco.
That's okay, I was bored anyway.
I left my love in the room.
That's okay, I was born in L.A.
I left my love in San Francisco.
That's okay, I was bored anyway.
I left my love in a field.
That's okay, I was born in L.A.
