#1.
C            A     Dm F            Em
I have often walked........down this street
  Am   Dm F
before.
C       E              B     Am     Dm
But the pavement always stayed beneath my
G     F   G
feet before.
       F       Am  E        C            Am
All at once am I..... several stories high?
C       D         G     F     C        D#
Knowing I'm on the street where you live?
 
 
INTERLUDE: Dm F Dm
 
#2.
          C     Dm  F    C            Em    G F
Are there lilac treeeeees in the heart of town?
        C              B        Dm  F  G
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
A#          F    E   G     C     Am
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
C   D               G           C
No, it's just on the street where you live.
 
BRIDGE:
     D   Bm  Dm                   F    A#
And, ohhhhhhhhhhhh, the towering feeling, just
   Dm  F       Bm     C
to know somehow you are near.
    F   B   F#m  B                   E
The overpoweriiiiing feeling, that any second you
B           C  G
may suddenly ap-pear.
 
#3.
Dm    C        F                 C        Dm F
People stop and stare, they don't bother me.
    C          E           B
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would
F      G
rather be.
        Dm  F      A#      C
Let the time go by, I won't care..
         D             G     C     Dm C
if I can be here on the street where you live.
