Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
I've got a quarter
E 
in my pocket of an apple left to eat:
D 
It's a wonder that I'm
E 
standing on my own two feet.
D 
In the shadow of a thousand
E 
veiled Victorian goodbyes
D 
Jewels of litter come to greet me,
E 
and it stings  my eyes.
D 
Oh it burns like a fire and
E 
it pulls  me through-
D 
We are parted by desire for
E 
the strange and new.
D 
I've got a quarter in my pocket,
E 
I'm advancing to the booth,
D 
I am picking up and praying
E 
that I talk to you.

Verse 2

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 am halfway home

Man, I never felt so lonely-

I long for you to hold me now I'm

home.

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

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