[Verse]


[NINA:]
           Bb
This is my street
               Cm
I smile at the faces
                  Bb
I've known all my life
                        Ab
They regard me with pride
               Bb
And everyone's sweet
                          Eb
They say, "You're going places!"
   Gm        Bb                       F
So how can I say that while I was away
                     Gm
I had so much to hide!

                F
“Hey guys, it's me!
    D            D7             Gm
The biggest disappointment you know.”
    Eb           Bb
The kid couldn't hack it
       Bbm           Ab          Gm
She's back and she's walkin' real slow
        F7
Welcome home
       Bb
Just breathe...


[Refrain]

[COMMUNITY:]
Bb       F           Fm      Eb      Gb    Ebm
 Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
  F
Respira...
Bb    F          Fm          Eb         Gb Ebm
Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga
    F
Respira...


[Verse]

[NINA:]
             Bb                  Cm
As the radio plays old forgotten boleros
               Bb                      Ab
I think of the days when this city was mine
               Bb
I remember the praise
                   F
“Ay, te adoro, te quiero,”
    Gm           Eb
The neighborhood waved, and
      Eb        F
Said, “Nina, be brave and
                Gm
You're gonna be fine!”
                F
And maybe it's me
       D              D7
But it all seems like lifetimes ago
             Bb           Bbm        Ab             Gm
So what do I say to these faces that I used to know?
         F
“Hey, I'm home?”


[Bridge]

[DANIELA:]
Gm   F
Mira Nina

[NINA:]

Hey...

[COMMUNITY:]
Bb                 Eb
No me preocupo por ella

[NINA:]

They're not worried about me

[COMMUNITY:]
Gm      F                 Bb
Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella!

[NINA:]
             D           D7         Gm
They are all counting on me to succeed

[COMMUNITY:]
              Gb  F
Ella sí da la talla!

[NINA:]
         Bb     F        Gm  F
I am the one who made it out!
    Eb
The one who always made the grade
    Gb
But maybe I should have just stayed home...


[Verse]
     Gm                     F
When I was a child I stayed wide awake
               Eb
Climbed to the highest place
         D
On every fire escape
D7
Restless to climb

Gm          Eb
I got every scholarship
            Bb
Saved every dollar
                   D
The first to go to college
       D7 .          Gm
How do I tell them why
                Eb
I'm coming back home?
        Bb             D   D7
With my eyes on the horizon.
     Gm         F   Eb
Just me and the G-W-B, asking,
Bb                     Gb  Fm
"Gee Nina, what'll you be?"


[Verse]
               Bb
Straighten the spine
              Bb/C
Smile for the neighbors
             Bb/D
Everything's fine
             Bb/Eb
Everything's cool
                 Bb/F
The standard reply:
                           F
“Lots of tests, lots of papers.”
Gm                 Eb
Smile, wave goodbye
                 F7
And pray to the sky, oh, god..
    Eb           F           Gm Bb
And what will my parents say?
     Eb        F          Gm  Bb
Can I go in there and say
   Eb             Bb         Bbm   Ab
“I know that I'm letting you down..”
