Res pi ra.

          G
This is my street

                Am
I smile at the faces

                 G/D
I’ve known all my life

                       Csus4
They regard me with pride

              G/D
And everyone’s sweet

                           C/E
They say, “You’re going places!’

   Em       G/C                  Dsus4
So how can I say that while I was away

D                 Em
I had so much to hide!

               D
“Hey guys, it’s me!

   B7         B7/D#         Em
The biggest disappointment you know.”

    C          G/B
The kid couldn’t hack it

She’s back and she’s walkin’ real slow

       D7
Welcome home

    G
Just breathe...

G       D/F#         Dm/F     C/E    Eb 
  Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida

 Dsus D
Respira...

G      D/F#        Dm/F        C/E      Eb
  Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga

Dsus   D
Res pi ra.

D           G                    Am7
As the radio plays old forgotten boleros

                 G/B                 Csus4
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?”

Em  D/F#
Mira Nina (Hey...)

G                  C
No me preocupo por ella

C                      Em
They’re not worried about me

Em    D/F#                G
Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella!

            B7        B7/D#    Em
They are all counting on me to succeed

            Eb/D D
(Ella sí da la talla!)

  D      G       D/F#    Em
I am the one who made it out!

D  C                     C
The one who always made the grade

   Ebaug
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?"

              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”?

Em D/F#
Nina...

      G D/F# Dm/F C/E Eb Bb F/A G
Just breathe...
