[NINA:]
G                               D          G
I used to think we lived at the top of the world
G
When the world was just a subway map
        F
And the one-slash-nine
          C              G
Climbed a dotted line to my place
[BENNY:]
There's no nine train now
[NINA:]
Right
G                               D          G
I used to think the Bronx was a place in the sky
G
When the world was just a subway map
          F
And my thoughts took shape
[NINA/BENNY:]
        C
On that fire escape...
[NINA:]
Em      C            Am           Em
Can you remind me of what it was like
       D          C
At the top of the world?
[BENNY:]
          G
Come with me
We begin July
With a stop at my corner fire hydrant
[NINA:]
                        F
You would open it every summer!
[BENNY:]
F
I would bust it with a wrench
                 C
Till my face got drenched
                 G
Till I heard the sirens
       C
Then I ran like hell!
[NINA:]
You ran like hell!
[BENNY:]
Yeah, I ran like hell!
[NINA:]
I remember well!
[BENNY:]
        G
To your father's dispatch window
“Hey, let me in, yo!
They're coming to get me!”
[NINA:]
                            F
You were always in constant trouble...
[BENNY:]
F                                                  C
Then your dad would act all snide, but he'd let me hide
You'd be there inside...
[NINA:]
         G
Life was easier then
[BENNY:]
Nina, everything is easier
            Em
When you're home...
    C                                    Em
The street's a little kinder when you're home
D
Can't you see
         Em        D
That the day seems clearer
C                D
Now that you are here or
      Dm
Is it me?
G
Maybe it's just me...
G
We gotta go I wanna show you all I know
The sun is setting and the light is getting low
[NINA:]
                       F
Are we going to Castle Garden?
[BENNY:]
Maybe, maybe not, but way to take a shot, when the day is hot
  C
I got a perfect shady spot
A little ways away that oughta
G
Cool us down
[NINA:]
Cool us down...
[BENNY:]
Welcome back to town...
[NINA:]
Now, back in high school when it darkened
You'd hang out in Bennett Park and
[BENNY:]
                       F
Usnavi would bring his radio...
[NINA:]
As I walked home from Senior Studies
    C
I'd see you rapping with your buddies
[BENNY:]
         G
With the volume high
[NINA:]
I walked on by
[BENNY:]
You walked on by...
[BENNY/COMMUNITY:]
            Em D
When you're home
[BENNY:]
        G                 D
Oh, the summer nights are cooler
[BENNY/COMMUNITY:]
           Em  D
When you're home!
[NINA:]
                G         D
Now that you're here with me...
[BENNY:]
         Em
And that song you are
D
hearing is the
C
Neighborhood just
D             Am
cheering you along...
[NINA:]
Don't say that
[BENNY:]
       Dm
What's wrong?
[NINA:]
Don't say that!
Em         D            G                  D
When I was younger, I'd imagine what would happen
Em                D                G          D
If my parents had stayed in Puerto Rico
Em         D            G                  D
Who would I be if I had never seen Manhattan
Em                D                G
If I lived in Puerto Rico with my people
   C  D
My people!
Em         D            G                  C
I feel like all my life, I've tried to find the answer
Em                D                G          C
Working harder, learning Spanish, learning all I can
Em         D            G                  C
I thought I might find the answer out at Stanford
        Em
But I'd stare out at the sea
          G
Thinking, where'm I supposed to be?
D                                                 G       D
So please don't say you're proud of me, when I've lost my way
[BENNY:]
Em
Then can I say:
                  D                Em
I couldn't get my mind off you all day
    D
Now listen to me!
         Em         D
That may be how you perceive it
    C           D
But Nina please believe
              Am            G
That when you find your way again
             C                    D
You're gonna change the world and then
                                C        G          D
We're all gonna brag and say we knew her when...
              Em
This was your home
[NINA:]
    D
I'm home...
[BENNY:]
        Em  D
Welcome home...
[NINA:]
            G         C
When you're here with me...
[BENNY:]
Em  D
Welcome home...
[NINA:]
G         D             Em           D          Am
I used to think that we lived at the top of the world!
[BENNY:]
Welcome home...
[NINA:]
    G
I'm home...
[BENNY:]
               C  D
You're finally home
You're home!
[NINA:]
    G
I'm home!
I'm home!
