Intro:  D5 - G5 - A5 - D5 - G5 
 
D5             G5            A5          D5 
I stood on faith, and the corner of ambition 
               G5             A5                D5        
I came here to sink or swim , and to show them all 
               G5                    A5 
That they were wrong,  and though I never thought I'd make it this far 
D5                      G5            A5               D5 
So the curtains are down.  For the moment I was someone 
                        D5             G5 
There were those in the wings who waited 
A5              D5                  G5 
who came this way.  Now they're gone. 
A5                                                            D5 
But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are. 
              A5                                    B5  
And when I'm down and I'm growin' old, it won't be long or I won't try 
           E5                          A5 
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold 
D5                           B5           G5                          E5 
It's been a steady pace, to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway 
E5   F#5  G5                      A5                    D5  
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home sweet home. 
 
(SOLO here. Chords something like  
G5 A5 D5 G5 A5 D5 , 
etc.) 
 

             A5                         B5 
And when I'm down and I'm growin' old, I won't be long or I won't try 
           E5                           A5 
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold 
D5                           B5           G5                           E5 
It's been a steady pace, to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway 
E5   F#5 G5                       A5                   ?D5           ?B5 
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home sweet (Can't go on, I'm on the top  
                    ?E5                                                   A5 
of my better years.  I'm going home.  It's too lonesome on the bottom rung here) 
D5                           B5           G5                          E5 
It's been a steady pace, to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway 
E5   F#5 G5                       A5                     D5 
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home sweet home.
