E C#m7 F#m9 - F#m
I've come back this morning to where I first came alive
G#/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#dim)
Here within this terminal where the buses arrive
A#dim AM7
I was a commuter on the 804
A#dim B
Worked on a computer on the 19th floor and
E C#m7 F#m9 - F#m
You came down the aisle of the bus and you sat by my side
G#/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#dim)
Shoulder up to shoulder we shared that 9 o'clock ride
A#dim AM7
Oh my heart was screaming as you left your seat
A#dim B
Following your movements I was at your feet and
EM7 C#m7 F#m Gm
Oh down into the terminal both of us smiled
G#m C#m F#m - G#m F#m - B
So we entered the terminal just as she smiled
E C#m7 F#m9 - F#m
Won't you leave out work today - you ask of me then
G#/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#dim)
So I phoned in sick on the way to the home of a friend
A#dim AM7
We were all alone from 10 A.M. till three
A#dim B
Really thought the fire had gone out of me but
E C#m7 F#m9 - F#m
You awoke the sleep of my life from gray into red
G#/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#dim)
Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise from the dead
A#dim AM7
Could have had the fun of my entire life
A#dim B
But I have to get home to the kids and the wife and
EM7 C#m7 F#m Gm
So I left for the terminal where I began
G#m C#m F#m - G#m F#m - B
Baby no, I wouldn't have left if I'd been half a man
E C#m7 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#dim)
Here within this terminal where I passed on a chance
A#dim AM7
Lord I'll never find her through I've truly tried
A#dim B
Probably she's found another bus to ride and
E C#m7 F#m9 - F#m
I am now about to begin the last of my days
G#/D# G# C#m (C#m - B - A#dim)
I'm within what others would call a terminal face
A#dim AM7
I myself can only say it's livin dead
A#dim B EM7
Ridin to the office with the song in my head that goes
C#m7 F#m Gm G#m
La da da da da da da da da da and you know it grows
C#m F#m - G#m F#m - B
La da da da da da da da da da
EM7 C#m7 F#m Gm G#m
Ohh La da da da da da da da da da Ohh
C#m F#m - G#m F#m - B
La da da da da da da da da da
EM7 C#m7 F#m Gm
Ohh La da da da da da da da da da da da (Fade Out)
