San Francisco Via Chicago Blues Lyrics

Well, I don’t care whose listening
There’s no one I trust
Well cheer up- most have got worse than us
And I don’t feel good unless I’m lying next to you
Nothing lasts forever – well, ain’t that the truth.

Cause I am losing, I am losing you
I am losing, I am losing you

You were in San Francisco, waiting on a bus
I was in the Windy City
When you called about us
We stayed up all night crying on the phone
Guess nobody, no one, wants to be alone

Cause I am losing, I am losing you
I am losing I am losing you

Tried taking it for granted, tried to cherish each day
But nothing really matters, because I am away.

I am losing, I am losing you
I am losing, I am losing you
I am losing, I am losing you
I am losing, I am losing you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i think "whose" in the first line should be "who's" and i think "but nothing really matters, because i am away" should be "because either way"

i could be wrong, though.

one of my favorite songs of all time.
