D#           Gm
Moon shining, sun rising
A#                        D#
You're the one I want to wake up to
D#           Gm
Lights fading, I'm changing
A#                     D#
Overthinking, I don't know what to do

         D#
I wanna kiss you like the first time
Gm
Hold you like it's not goodbye
A#                 D#
Wish I hadn't been so cruel
        D#
I wanna let all my defenses down
Gm
Scream until you hear me out
      A#                     D#
I'll lay it on the line for you

Chorus:
               D#
My mind’s made up
          Gm           A#           D#
Take me back, take me back to San Francisco
     D#         Gm              A#
I know what we had would never last,
             D#
but I can’t let go of you
                        Gm
I might show up on your doorstep, soakin' wet
A#                            F                  D#
Say I’m done running from the one that I want so bad
        Gm             A# D#
Take me back, take me back

Drunk dialin', full dive in
Don't you tell me that it's too late now
'Cause I'm pacing, I keep breaking
Is there a way to make it up somehow?

I wanna kiss you like the first time
Hold you like it's not goodbye
Before you fall for somebody new
I wanna let all my defences down
Scream until you hear me out
I know that I'll be good to you

Chorus

               D#              Gm A# F
My mind's made up, up, up, up, up

Chorus:
And take me back, take me back
To San Francisco
I know what we had could never last
Now I can't let go of you
I might show up on your doorstep, soakin' wet
Say I'm done runnin' from the one that I want so bad
Take me back, take me back

And take me back, take me back
And take me back, take me back
Oh
