Verse: G This is my street Am I smile at the faces D I’ve known all my life F They regard me with pride G And everyone’s sweet C They say, “you’re going places!” Em G So how can I say that while I was D Em away I had so much to hide? D “Hey guys, it’s me! B7 The biggest disappointment you Em know.” C G The kid couldn’t hack it Gm F She’s back and she’s walking real Em slow. D7 Welcome home G Just breathe Chorus: G D Dm Sigue andando el camino C Eb Por toda su vida. D Respira. G D Dm C Eb D Breathe Verse: D G As the radio plays Am7 Old forgotten boleros G I think of the days F When this city was mine G I remember the praise D “Ay, te adoro, te quiero,” Em7 C The neighborhood waved D Said, “Nina, be brave” and Em “You're gonna be fine!” D And maybe it’s me, B7 Em But it all seems like lifetimes ago C G Gm So what do I say to these faces F Em That I used to know D “Hey I’m home.” Bridge: Em D Mira, Nina, G C No me preocupo por ella. Em They’re not worried about me D G Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella. B7 They are all counting on me to Em succeed. D Ella si da la talla, G Em I am the one who made it out! C The one who always made the grade Eb But maybe I should have just Stayed home... Em D When I was a child, I stayed wide C Awake, climbed to the highest place B7 On every fire escape, restless Em To climb C I got every scholarship, saved G Every dollar, the first to go to B7 Em College, how do I tell them why C I’m coming back home? G B7 With my eyes on the horizon Em D C Just me and the gwb asking, G Eb Dm “Gee, Nina, What’ll you be?” Verse: G Straighten the spine C Smile for the neighbors G Everything’s fine C Everything’s cool G The standard reply: D “Lots of tests, lots of papers.” Em C Smile, wave goodbye D Pray to the sky, oh, God! C D Em What will my parents say? C D Em Can I go in there and say, C G Gm “I know that I’m letting you down?” Outro, Em D Nina... G D Dm C Eb D7 G Just breathe.
