 I  stood on faith,  and the corner  of ambition
 I  came here to sink  or swim, and to  show them all
 That  they were wrong, and  though I never thought I'd make it this far
 So  the curtains are down.  For the moment  I was someone
 There  were those in the ???  (Don't know this line)
 who  came this way.  Now they're gone.
 But  there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are.
 And  when I'm down and I'm growin' old, it  won't be long or I won't try
 I  won't be bound to a life out  in the cold
 It's  been a steady pace, to keep  my steps between  these cracks on Broadway
 And  my  stride  in rhythm to the beat  of home sweet home.
 (SOLO here. Chords something like G A D G A D, etc.)
 And  when I'm down and I'm growin'  old, I won't be long or I won't try
 I  won't be bound to a life out in  the cold
 It's  been a steady pace, to keep  my steps between  these cracks on Broadway
 
 
 
 And  my stride in rhythm to the beat of home sweet (Can't go on, I'm on the top
  ?
 of  my better years. I'm going home. It's too lonesome  on the bottom rung here)
 It's  been a steady pace, to keep  my steps between  these cracks on Broadway
 And  my  stride  in rhythm to the beat  of home sweet home.
 Bm7 - 224232 Fm - 244222
 You get the idea. Work with it and see what you can come up with. I can't
 figure out what she says on the fifth line. I'm not so sure about the Fm,
 but it sounds OK to me. If you don't have this album, you should get it!
 Alison is a great artist who doesn't get enough recognition, in my opinion!
