[Intro 1]
[D][A][E][D]
[E][A][E][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I've got a [D]quarter
in my pocket of an ap[E]ple left to eat:
It's a won[D]der that I'm
standing on my [E]own two feet.
In the [D]shadow of a thousand
veiled Vic[E]torian goodbyes
Jew[D]els of litter come to greet me,
and it sting[E]s my eyes.
Oh [D]it burns like a fire and
it pull[E]s me through-
We [D]are parted by desire for
[E]the strange and new.
I've got a [D]quarter in my pocket,
I'm advan[E]cing to the booth,
I am [D]picking up and praying
that I talk [E]to you.

[Verse 2]
[E]And [A]now, I'm halfway [E]home,
I'm at the [G]corner of our street,
Would you [D]like to come and meet me?
Now that [A]I am halfway h[E]ome
Man, [G]I never felt so lonely-
[D]I long for you to hold me now I'm
[E]hom[A]e.[E][G]
[D]

[Verse 3]
Somedays, there was comfort as a
[E]stranger far from home
Sometimes,
[D]a hunger and a longing not to be alo[E]ne.
[D]Imagining emotion in each
[E]man that I would meet-
But it was [D]physics, and subtraction,
[A]to an an[E]cient beat.
Oh, it [D]burned like a fire and I [E]wore it so...
We are [D]tied up in desire
and we [E]won't let go.
Well, I've [D]no quarter in my
pocket of no [E]ap ple left to eat;
I am [D]running,
I am running and I can't [E]feel my feet.

[Verse 4]
[E]And [A]now, I'm halfway [E]home,
I'm at the [G]corner of our street,
Would you [D]like to come and meet me?
Now that [A]I'm halfway [E]home
Man, [G]I never felt so lonely-
[D]I long for you to hold me now I'm [E]home

[Verse 5]
Now [E]I'm home,
home is where I [D]wanna be,
Now I'm [E]home,
home is where I'm [D]gonna be.
Past the [E]church and past the steeple,
Past the [D]sad and lonely people,
Past the [E]old school on the avenue,
I [D]am running, I am running...

[Verse 6]
And [A]now, I'm halfway [E]home,
I'm at [G]the corner of our street,
Would you [D]like to co9me and meet me
Now [A]that I'm halfway [E]home
Man, I [G]never felt so lonely-
[D][A][E][G][D]
[A]I l[E]ong[G] fo[D]r you to
hold me now I'm [A]home.
