[Verse 1]
          G      
This is my street
                Am  
I smile at the faces
                 G/D  
I’ve known all my life
                       Csus4
They regard me with pride
              G/D   
And everyone’s sweet
                           C/E  
They say, “You’re going places!’
   Em       G/C                  Dsus4
So how can I say that while I was away
D                 Em  
I had so much to hide!
               D   
“Hey guys, it’s me!
   B7         B7/D#         Em       
The biggest disappointment you know.”
    C          G/B      
The kid couldn’t hack it
     Gm           F         Em        
She’s back and she’s walkin’ real slow
       D7   
Welcome home
    G          
Just breathe...

[Chorus]
G     D/F#         Dm/F     C/E    Eb   
Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
 Dsus D   
Respira...
G    D/F#        Dm/F        C/E      Eb    
Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga
Dsus   D  
Res pi ra.

[Verse 2]
D           G                    Am7    
As the radio plays old forgotten boleros
                 G/B                 Csus4 
I think of the days when this city was mine
                    G/D
I remember the praise
                  D/E     
“Ay, te adoro, te quiero,”
    Em7        C           
The neighborhood waved, and
               D         
Said, “Nina, be brave and
               Em     
You’re gonna be fine!”
              D  
And maybe it’s me
      B7           B7/D#      Em   
But it all seems like lifetimes ago
   C         G/B          Gm/Bb      F           Em 
So what do I say to these faces that I used to know?
        D       
“Hey, I’m home?”

[Bridge]
Em  D/F#          
Mira Nina (Hey...)
G                  C   
No me preocupo por ella
C                      Em   
They’re not worried about me
Em    D/F#                G      
Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella!
            B7        B7/D#    Em     
They are all counting on me to succeed
            Eb/D D    
(Ella sí da la talla!)
  D      G       D/F#    Em  
I am the one who made it out!
D  C                     C       
The one who always made the grade
   Ebaug                                 
But maybe I should have just stayed home…
Em                         D          
When I was a child I stayed wide awake
              C             
Climbed to the highest place
        B7          
On every fire escape
B7/D#       Em   
Restless to climb
             C         
I got every scholarship
             G    
Saved every dollar
                  B7      
The first to go to college
     B7/D#         Em 
How do I tell them why
                C    
I’m coming back home?
        G             B7  B7/D#
With my eyes on the horizon.
    Em          D   C         
Just me and the G W B, asking,
G                    Eb Dm 
“Gee Nina, what’ll you be?"

[Verse]
              G     
Straighten the spine
             G/A       
Smile for the neighbors
            G/B  
Everything’s fine
            C    
Everything’s cool
              G/D  
The standard reply:
                        D/E     
“Lots of tests, lots of papers.”
Em                C
Smile, wave goodbye
                D            
And pray to the sky, oh, God!
   C          D          Em  
And what will my parents say?
   C      D          Em  
Can I go in there and say
  C          G          Gm   F/A   
“I know that I’m letting you down”?

[Outro]
Em D/F#
Nina...
      G D/F# Dm/F C/E Eb Bb F/A G
Just breathe...
