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