(Verse 1)
G D2 Em D
So I'm walking down the street somewhere outside of San Francisco
G D2 C
But I don't really know my way around
G D2 Em D
I'd love to stay a day or two and get into some trouble
C D G [sus]
But tomorrow I'll be in another town
(Verse 2)
There's at least one coffee bar for every single couple
And there's at least a couple in this place
Strange the things you notice when the walls are closing in
And the walls are closing in on me today
(Chorus)
D C G
So where oh where can I find someone anyone
D [/C /B /A]
'Cause there's no way out of here
G D2 Em A7
But here is where I live and so I guess that means the carrot's
C D G [sus]
Gonna dangle for at least another year
(Verse 3)
I love anonymity and I love being noticed
Just the same as anybody else
Years ago I told you how I loved to be alone
These days I'd be perjuring myself
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Em A7
It's like you gave me up like I gave up drinking coffee
Em D [/C /B /A]
So I guess I would have done the same
G D2 Em D
So now I know I'm lost somewhere outside of San Francisco
C D G
But I'm still glad that I came
(Chorus x2)
G 320003
D2 200230
Em 022000
D x00232
C x32010
A7 x02020
