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.
