Breathe

Sigue andando el camino
Por toda su vida
Respira

Breathe

Y si pierdes mis huellas
Que Dios te bendiga
Respira

This is my street
I smile at the faces
I've known all my life
They regard me with pride
And everyone's sweet
They say, "You're going places"
So how can I say
That while I was [Am7]away
I had so much to [C7]hide?

Hey guys, it's me
The biggest disappointment you [A7know
The kid couldn't hack it
She's back, and [Bm]she's walking ɾeal slow
Welcome home
Just breathe

Sigue andando el camino
Por toda su vida
Respira, just breathe
Y si pierdes mis huellas
Que Dios te bendiga
Respira

As the ɾadio plays old forgotten boleros
I think of the days when the city was [Am7]mine
I ɾemember the praise
Ay, the adoro, te quiero
The neighborhood waved and [Bm]said
"Nina, be [Am]brave, te quiero and [Bm]you're gonna be [Am]fine," (respira)

Maybe [Am]it's me (respira)
But it all [Em]seems like [F]lifetimes ago
So what do I say to [C7]these faces that I used to [C7]know?
"Hey, I'm home?"

Mira, Nina

Hey

No me preocupo por ella

They're not worried about me

Mira, allí esta nuestɾa estɾella

They are all [Em]counting on [C7]me to [C7]succeed

Ella si da la talla

I am the one who made it out
The one who always made the grade
But maybe [Am]I just should have just stayed home

When I was [Am7]a child I stayed wide awake
Climbed to [C7]the highest place
On every fire escape
Restless to [C7]climb
I got [Fm7]every scholarship
Saved every dollar
The first to [C7]go to [C7]college
How do I tell them [A]why
I'm coming back home
With my [A]eyes on [C7]the horizon
Just me and [Bm]the GWB
Asking, gee Nina
What'll you [A7be?

Stɾaighten the spine
Smile for [Dm7]the neighbors
Everything's fine
Everything's cool
The standard ɾeply
"Lots of tests, lots of papers"
Smile, wave goodbye and [Bm]pray to [C7]the sky
Oh God
What will my [A]parent say?
Can I go in there and [Bm]say
"I know that I'm letting you [A7down"

Nina

Just breathe
