F G
I've got a quarter in my pocket of an apple left to eat:

F G
It's a wonder that I'm standing on my own two feet.

F G
In the shadow of a thousand veiled Victorian goodbyes

F G
Jewels of litter come to greet me, and it stings my eyes.

F G
Oh it burns like a fire and it pulls me through-

F G
We are parted by desire for the strange and new.

F G 
I've got a quarter in my pocket, I'm advancing to the booth,

F G
I am picking up and praying that I talk to you.

D A
And now, I'm halfway home, 

C
I'm at the corner of our street,

G
Would you like to come and meet me?

D A
Now that I am halfway home

C
Man, I never felt so lonely-

G D
I long for you to hold me now I'm home.
Somedays, there was comfort as a stranger far from home Sometimes, a hunger and a longing not to be alone. Imagining emotion in each man that I would meet- But it was physics, and subtraction, to an ancient beat. Oh, it burned like a fire and I wore it so... We are tied up in desire and we won't let go. Well, I've no quarter in my pocket of no apple left to eat; I am running, I am running and I can't feel my feet. And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, Would you like to come and meet me? Now that I'm halfway home Man, I never felt so lonely- I long for you to hold me
G A
Now I'm home, home is where I wanna be,

G A
Now I'm home, home is where I'm gonna be.

G A
Past the church and past the steeple,

G A
Past the sad and lonely people,

G A
Past the old school on the avenue,

G A
I am running, I am running...
And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, Would you like to co9me and meet me Now that I'm halfway home Man, I never felt so lonely- I long for you to hold me now I'm home.
