[E]I've come back this [C#m7]morning to where I [F#m9]first c[-]ame [F#m]alive

[G#/D#]Here within this [G#]terminal where the [C#m]buses arrive[(C#m][-][B][-][A#m/-5)]

[A#m/-5]I was a commuter on the [AM7]804

[A#m/-5]Worked on a computer on the [B]19th floor and


[E]You came down the ai[C#m7]sle of the bus and you [F#m9]sat by[-] my [F#m]side

[G#/D#]Shoulder up to [G#]shoulder we shared that [C#m]9 o'clock ride[(C#m][-][B][-][A#m/-5)]

[A#m/-5]Oh my heart was screaming as you[AM7] left your seat

[A#m/-5]Following your movements I was [B]at your feet and


EM7 C#m7 F#m Gm
Oh down into the terminal both of us smiled

[G#m]So we [C#m]entered the terminal [F#m]just as[-] she [G#m]smiled[F#m][-][B]


[E]Won't you leave out [C#m7]work today - you [F#m9]ask of[-] me [F#m]then

[G#/D#]So I phoned in [G#]sick on the way to the [C#m]home of a friend[(C#m][-][B][-][A#m/-5)]

[A#m/-5]We were all alone from 10 [AM7]A.M. till three

[A#m/-5]Really thought the fire had gone [B]out of me but


[E]You awoke the [C#m7]sleep of my life from [F#m9]gray i[-]nto [F#m]red

[G#/D#]Made the weary [G#]wonder of Wall Street [C#m]rise from the dead[(C#m][-][B][-][A#m/-5)]

[A#m/-5]Could have had the fun of my e[AM7]ntire life

[A#m/-5]But I have to get home to the [B]kids and the wife and


[EM7]So I [C#m7]left for the terminal [F#m]where I began[Gm]

Baby [G#m]no, I [C#m]wouldn't have left if I'd [F#m]been ha[-]lf a [G#m]man[F#m][-][B]


E C#m7 F#m9 - F#m
So here I am this morning where love had asked for the dance

[G#/D#]Here within this [G#]terminal where I [C#m]passed on a chance[(C#m][-][B][-][A#m/-5)]

[A#m/-5]Lord I'll never find her through I've[AM7] truly tried

[A#m/-5]Probably she's found another [B]bus to ride and


[E]I am now a[C#m7]bout to begin the [F#m9]last of[-] my d[F#m]ays

[G#/D#]I'm within what [G#]others would call a [C#m]terminal face[(C#m][-][B][-][A#m/-5)]

[A#m/-5]I myself can only say it's[AM7] livin dead

[A#m/-5]Ridin to the office with the [B]song in my head that [EM7]goes


[C#m7]La da da da da da [F#m]da da da da [Gm]and you know it [G#m]grows

[C#m]La da da da da da [F#m]da da[-] da [G#m]da[F#m][-][B]

[EM7]Ohh [C#m7]La da da da da da [F#m]da da da da [Gm] [G#m]Ohh

[C#m]La da da da da da [F#m]da da[-] da [G#m]da[F#m][-][B]

[EM7]Ohh La da da[C#m7] da da da da da da[F#m] da da da [Gm](Fade Out)
