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                Em
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!
