D                   Bm                Em
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)
