When Youre Home chords

[NINA:]
[G]I used to think we lived at the [D]top of the [G]world
[G]When the world was just a subway map
And the [F]one-slash-nine
Climbed a [C]dotted line to [G]my place

[BENNY:]
There's no nine train now

[NINA:]
Right
[G]I used to think the Bronx was a [D]place in th[G]e sky
[G]When the world was just a subway map
And my tho[F]ughts took shape

[NINA/BENNY:]
On that [C]fire escape...

[NINA:]
[Em]Can you [C]remind me of [Am]what it was l[Em]ike
At the [D]top of the [C]world?

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

[NINA:]
You would open it every [F]summer!

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

[NINA:]
You ran like hell!

[BENNY:]
Yeah, I ran like hell!

[NINA:]
I remember well!

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

[NINA:]
You were always in constant [F]trouble...

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

[NINA:]
Life was [G]easier then

[BENNY:]
Nina, everything is easier
When you're [Em]home...

The [C]street's a little kinder when you're [Em]home
[D]Can't you see
That the [Em]day seems [D]clearer
[C]Now that you are [D]here or
Is it [Dm]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:]
Are we going to Castle [F]Garden?

[BENNY:]
Maybe, maybe not, but way to take a shot, when the day is hot
I [C]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:]
Usnavi would bring his [F]radio...

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

[BENNY:]
With the [G]volume high

[NINA:]
I walked on by

[BENNY:]
You walked on by...

[BENNY/COMMUNITY:]
When you're [Em]hom[D]e

[BENNY:]
Oh, the [G]summer nights are [D]cooler

[BENNY/COMMUNITY:]
When you're[Em] hom[D]e!

[NINA:]
Now that you're [G]here with [D]me...

[BENNY:]
And that [Em]song you are
[D]hearing is the
[C]Neighborhood just
[D]cheering you a[Am]long...

[NINA:]
Don't say that

[BENNY:]
What's [Dm]wrong?

[NINA:]
Don't say that!
[Em]When I was [D]younger, I'd [G]imagine what would [D]happen
[Em]If my parents had [D]stayed in Puerto [G]Rico [D]
[Em]Who would I[D] be if I had [G]never seen Manhatta[D]n
[Em]If I lived in Puer[D]to Rico with my p[G]eople
My [C]peo[D]ple!

[Em]I feel like[D] all my life,[G] I've tried to find[C] the answer
[Em]Working harder, le[D]arning Spanish, l[G]earning all[C] I can
[Em]I thought I[D] might find t[G]he answer out at St[C]anford
But I'd [Em]stare out at the sea
Thinking, [G]where'm I supposed to be?
[D]So please don't say you're proud of me, when I've [G]lost my [D]way

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

[NINA:]
I'm [D]home...

[BENNY:]
Welcome [Em]home[D] ...

[NINA:]
When you're [G]here with [C]me...

[BENNY:]
[Em]Welc[D]ome home...

[NINA:]
[G]I used to [D]think that we [Em]lived at the [D]top of the [Am]world!

[BENNY:]
Welcome home...

[NINA:]
I'm [G]home...

[BENNY:]
You're finally [C]hom[D]e
You're home!

[NINA:]
I'm [G]home!
I'm home!
