G+G                D MajorD     G+G
I used to think we lived at the top of the world
G+G
When the world was just a subway map
    FF
And the one-slash-nine
     C majorC       G+G
Climbed a dotted line to my place

BENNY::
There's no nine train now

NINA::
Right
G+G                D MajorD     G+G
I used to think the Bronx was a place in the sky
G+G
When the world was just a subway map
     FF
And my thoughts took shape

NINA/BENNY::
    C majorC
On that fire escape...

NINA::
E minorEm   C majorC      A minorAm      E minorEm
Can you remind me of what it was like
    D MajorD     C majorC
At the top of the world?

BENNY::
     G+G
Come with me
We begin July
With a stop at my corner fire hydrant

NINA::
            FF
You would open it every summer!

BENNY::
FF
I would bust it with a wrench
         C majorC
Till my face got drenched
         G+G
Till I heard the sirens
    C majorC
Then I ran like hell!

NINA::
You ran like hell!

BENNY::
Yeah, I ran like hell!

NINA::
I remember well!

BENNY::
    G+G
To your father's dispatch window
“Hey, let me in, yo!
They're coming to get me!”

NINA::
              FF
You were always in constant trouble...

BENNY::
FF                         C majorC
Then your dad would act all snide, but he'd let me hide
You'd be there inside...

NINA::
     G+G
Life was easier then

BENNY::
Nina, everything is easier
      E minorEm
When you're home...

  C majorC                  E minorEm
The street's a little kinder when you're home
D MajorD
Can't you see
     E minorEm    D MajorD
That the day seems clearer
C majorC        E minorEm
Now that you are here or
   DmDm
Is it me?
G+G
Maybe it's just me...

G+G
We gotta go I wanna show you all I know
The sun is setting and the light is getting low

NINA::
            FF
Are we going to Castle Garden?

BENNY::
Maybe, maybe not, but way to take a shot, when the day is hot
 C majorC
I got a perfect shady spot
A augmentedA little ways away that oughta
G+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::
            FF
Usnavi would bring his radio...

NINA::
As I walked home from Senior Studies
  C majorC
I'd see you rapping with your buddies

BENNY::
     G+G
With the volume high

NINA::
I walked on by

BENNY::
You walked on by...

BENNY/COMMUNITY::
      E minorEm D MajorD
When you're home

BENNY::
    G+G         D MajorD
Oh, the summer nights are cooler

BENNY/COMMUNITY::
      E minorEm D MajorD
When you're home!

NINA::
        G+G     D MajorD
Now that you're here with me...

BENNY::
     E minorEm
And that song you are
D MajorD
hearing is the
C majorC
Neighborhood just
D MajorD       A minorAm
cheering you along...

NINA::
Don't say that

BENNY::
    DmDm
What's wrong?

NINA::
Don't say that!
E minorEm     D MajorD      G+G         D MajorD
When I was younger, I'd imagine what would happen
E minorEm        D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD
If my parents had stayed in Puerto Rico
E minorEm     D MajorD      G+G         D MajorD
Who would I be if I had never seen Manhattan
E minorEm        D MajorD        G+G
If I lived in Puerto Rico with my people
  C majorC D MajorD
My people!

E minorEm     D MajorD      G+G         C majorC
I feel like all my life, I've tried to find the answer
E minorEm        D MajorD        G+G     C majorC
Working harder, learning Spanish, learning all I can
E minorEm     D MajorD      G+G         C majorC
I thought I might find the answer out at Stanford
    E minorEm
But I'd stare out at the sea
     G+G
Thinking, where'm I supposed to be?
D MajorD                         G+G    D MajorD
So please don't say you're proud of me, when I've lost my way

BENNY::
E minorEm
Then can I say:
         D MajorD        E minorEm
I couldn't get my mind off you all day
  D MajorD
Now listen to me!
     E minorEm     D MajorD
That may be how you perceive it
  C majorC      D MajorD
But Nina please believe
       A minorAm      G+G
That when you find your way again
       C majorC          D MajorD
You're gonna change the world and then
                C majorC    G+G     D MajorD
We're all gonna brag and say we knew her when...
       E minorEm
This was your home

NINA::
  D MajorD
I'm home...

BENNY::
    E minorEm D MajorD
Welcome home...

NINA::
      G+G     C majorC
When you're here with me...

BENNY::
E minorEm D MajorD
Welcome home...

NINA::
G+G     D MajorD       E minorEm      D MajorD     A minorAm
I used to think that we lived at the top of the world!

BENNY::
Welcome home...

NINA::
  G+G
I'm home...

BENNY::
        C majorC D MajorD
You're finally home
You're home!

NINA::
  G+G
I'm home!
I'm home!
