I've come back this morning to where I first came alive
G/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#m/-5)
Here within this terminal where the buses arrive
Am/-5 AM7
I was a commuter on the 804
Am/-5 B
Worked on a computer on the 19th floor and
You came down the aisle of the bus and you sat by my side
G/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#m/-5)
Shoulder up to shoulder we shared that 9 o'clock ride
Am/-5 AM7
Oh my heart was screaming as you left your seat
Am/-5 B
Following your movements I was at your feet and
EM7 Cm7 F#m Gm
Oh down into the terminal both of us smiled
So we entered the terminal just as she smiled
Won't you leave out work today - you ask of me then
G/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#m/-5)
So I phoned in sick on the way to the home of a friend
Am/-5 AM7
We were all alone from 10 A.M. till three
Am/-5 B
Really thought the fire had gone out of me but
You awoke the sleep of my life from gray into red
G/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#m/-5)
Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise from the dead
Am/-5 AM7
Could have had the fun of my entire life
Am/-5 B
But I have to get home to the kids and the wife and
So I left for the terminal where I began
Baby no, I wouldn't have left if I'd been half a man
E Cm7 F#m9 - F#m
So here I am this morning where love had asked for the dance
G/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#m/-5)
Here within this terminal where I passed on a chance
Am/-5 AM7
Lord I'll never find her through I've truly tried
Am/-5 B
Probably she's found another bus to ride and
I am now about to begin the last of my days
G/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#m/-5)
I'm within what others would call a terminal face
Am/-5 AM7
I myself can only say it's livin dead
Am/-5 B EM7
Ridin to the office with the song in my head that goes
La da da da da da da da da da and you know it grows
La da da da da da da da da da
Ohh La da da da da da da da da da Ohh
La da da da da da da da da da
Ohh La da da da da da da da da da da da (Fade Out)
