[verse]:
        F                    C
Sirens ring the shots ring out
           Gm                Bb 
A stranger cries screams out loud
I had my world strapped against my back
I held my hands never knew how to act

[chorus]:
             F                   C                      
And the same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me
                       Gm                 Bb
And now it's drawn me in       6th avenue heartache
(repeat)

[verse]:
Below me there was a homeless man singin' songs I knew complete
On the steps alone his guitar in hand his 50 years stood where he stands

[chorus]

Walking home on those streets the river winds they moved my feet
The subway steam like silhouttes in dreams stood by me jus like moonbeams

[chorus]

Looked out the window down upon that street and gone like midnight was that man
But I seen his 6 strings laid against that wall and all his things
 they all looked so small
I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star just like me has just moved on

[chorus]
