This is my street

I’ve known all my life

So how can I say that while I was away

I had so much to hide!

“Hey guys, it’s me!

The biggest disappointment you know.”

The kid couldn’t hack it

[Segunda Parte]
D G Am7
As the radio plays old forgotten boleros
G/B F
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?”
[Ponte]

Mira Nina (Hey...)

No me preocupo por ella

They’re not worried about me

Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella!

They are all counting on me to succeed
Eb/D D
(Ella sí da la talla!)

I am the one who made it out!
D C C
The one who always made the grade

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?"
[Terceira Parte]
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”?

Just breathe
