[Intro]
C Em G x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
C             Em
  Moon shining, sun rising
G                          C
  You're the one I want to wake up to
C              Em
  Lights fading, I'm changing
G                      C
  Overthinking, I don't know what to do
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        C
I wanna kiss you like the first time
Em
Hold you like it's not goodbye
G                     C
Wish I hadn't been so cruel
        C
I wanna let all my defenses down
Em
Scream until you hear me out
     G                      C
I'll lay it on the line for you
 
 
[Chorus]
               C
My mind’s made up
            Em           G           C
Take me back, take me back to San Francisco
       C             Em                 G
I know   what we had   would never last,
            C
but I can’t let go of you
                        Em
I might show up on your doorstep, soakin' wet 
G                             D                  C
Say I’m done running from the one that I want so bad
           Em             G C
Take me back, take me back
 
 
[Verse 2]
C             Em
  Drunk dialin', full dive in
G                             C
  Don't you tell me that it's too late now
C                 Em
  'Cause I'm pacing, I keep breaking
Em                            C
  Is there a way to make it up somehow?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        C
I wanna kiss you like the first time
Em
Hold you like it's not goodbye
   G                         C
Before you fall for somebody new
        C
I wanna let all my defenses down
Em
Scream until you hear me out
  G                     C
I know that I'll be good to you
 
 
[Chorus]
               C
My mind’s made up
            Em           G           C
Take me back, take me back to San Francisco
       C             Em                 G
I know   what we had   would never last,
            C
but I can’t let go of you
                        Em
I might show up on your doorstep, soakin' wet
G                             D                  C
Say I’m done running from the one that I want so bad
           Em             G C
Take me back, take me back
 
 
[Bridge]
               C                Em G D
My mind's made up, up, up, up, up
 
 
[Chorus]
               C Em G C
My mind’s made up
            Em           G           C
Take me back, take me back to San Francisco
       C             Em                 G
I know   what we had   would never last,
            C
but I can’t let go of you
                        Em
I might show up on your doorstep, soakin' wet
G                             D                  C
Say I’m done running from the one that I want so bad
           Em             G C
Take me back, take me back
 
 
[Outro]
C                Em             G C
  And take me back, take me back
C                Em             G C
  And take me back, take me back

I've found that this arrangement sounds best with these versions of the chords: C- x32013 Em- 022033 G- 320033 besides that it's perfect!

Really good! Quick suggestion, the lyrics are actually “I might show up on your doorstep” and not ‘out of my control’
