Am7 D7 G6 Em Am7 D9 Am7 G Am7 G
I have often walked down this street before,
Am7 D7 G+7 B7 Em7/9 Am7alt Am7 D7
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before;
Am7 Em7 CM7 Em7 A7/9 D9 G G/F# Em
All at once am I several stories high,
Em7 Em7sus4 C Am Am7 Cdim Gdim D7 G6 Edim Am7
Know - ing I'm on the street where you live.
D7 G6 Em Am7 D9 Am7 G Am7 G
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Am7 D7 G+7 B7 Em7/9 Am7alt Am7 D7
Can you hear a lark in an - y oth - er part of town?
Am7 Em7 CM7 Em7 A7/9 D9 G G/F# Em
Does en - chantment pour out of every door?
Em7 Em7sus4 C Am Am7 Cdim Gdim D7 G Am7alt G
No, it's just on the street where you live.
Bridge:
B7 CM7 CM7/6 Cm7 Cm7/6
And oh, the towering feeling,
Cdim D7 G6
Just to know somehow you are near;
Gdim C#m7-5 F#7
The o - ver - powering feeling
Bm7 Bm7/E E7 A7 D7
That any second you may suddenly appear.
Am7 D7 G6 Em Am7 D9 Am7 G Am7 G
Peo - ple stop and stare; they don't bother me,
Am7 D7 G+7 B7 Em7/9 Am7alt Am7 D7
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be.
Am7 Em7 CM7 Em7 A7/9 Cdim B7 G9 G/F# Em
Let the time go by -- I won't care if I
Em7 Em7sus4 C Am Am7 Cdim Gdim D7 G6
Can be here on the street where you live.
