Introduction: D A Em G
D A
Sirens ring, shots ring out,
Em G
A stranger cries,... screams out loud,
D A
I had my world,... strapped against my back,
Em G
I held my hands,... never knew how to act,
D
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
A Em
was drawn on me, and now its drawn me in,
G
6th avenue heartache
D A
Below me, was a homeless man,
Em G
I'm singing songs,... I knew com-plete,
D A
On the steps alone,... his guitar in hand,
Em G
his 50 years,... he stood where he stands,
D
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
A Em
was drawn on me, and now its drawn me in,
G
6th avenue heartache
D
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
A Em
was drawn on me, and now its drawn me in,
G
6th avenue heartache
D A
Now I'm walking home,... on those streets,
Em G
the river winds,... move my feet
D A
The subway steam,... like silhouettes in dreams,
Em G
Stood by me,... [stood by me] just like moon-beams,
D
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
A Em
was drawn on me, and now its drawn me in,
G
6th avenue heartache
D
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
A Em
was drawn on me, and now its drawn me in,
G
6th avenue heartache
D A
Look out the window, down upon that street,
Em G
And gone like at midnight, was, that man,
D A
but I see his six strings,... laid against that wall,
Em G
and all his things,... they all look so small,
D A
I got my fingers crossed,... on a shooting star
Em G
just like me,... just moved, on
D
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
A Em
was drawn on me, and now its drawn me in,
G
6th avenue heartache
