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
