Verse i

 Sirens ring, shots rang out,

 A stranger cries,... screams out loud,

 I had my world,... strapped against my back,

 I held my hands,... never knew how to act,

Chorus

 Well the same black line that was drawn on you

 was drawn on me, and now its drawn me in,

 6th avenue heartache

Verse ii

 Below me, was a homeless man,

 I'm singing songs,... I knew com- plete,

 On the steps alone,.... his guitar in hand,

 his 50 years,.... he stood where he stands,

Repeat Chorus Twice

Verse iii

 Now I'm walking home,... on those streets,

 the river winds,.... move my feet

 The subway steam,.... like silhouettes in dreams,

 Stood by me,...... [stood by me] just like moon- beams,

Repeat Chorus Twice

Verse iv

 Look out the window, down upon that street,

 Gone like at midnight, was, that man,

 but I see his six strings,.. layed against that wall,

 and all his things,.... they all look so small,

 I got my fingers crossed,... on a shooting star

 just like me,..... just moved, just moved on

Chorus

(repeat)

Now you can also play with these chords a little bit to spice it up a little. It sounds

good when you get it down.

This in more of the real strum pattern:

V V V^V^V V^V

But I like to add a little touch of my own.
