Lyrics

Si rens (F)ring, the shots ring out. A stran ger (Gm7)cries, screams out (Bb)loud. I had my (F)world strapped a gainst my (C)back. I held my (Gm7)hands, nev er knew how to act. And the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in. Sixth Av e nue (Bb)heart ache. Be low (F)me there was a home less man sing ing (Gm7)songs I knew com (Bb)plete. On the steps a lone, his gui tar in hand. It’s fif ty (Gm7)years, stood where he stands. And the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in. Sixth Av e nue (Bb)heart ache. And the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in. Sixth Av e nue (Bb)heart ache. And the same (Bb)heart ache. Walk ing (F)home on the streets, the riv er (Gm7)winds move my (Bb)feet. The sub way (F)steam, like sil hou ettes in dreams, they stood by (Gm7)me just like moon (Bb)beams. And the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in. Sixth Av e nue (Bb)heart ache, heart ache. And the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in. Sixth Av e nue (Bb)heart ache, heart (F)ache. Looked out the (F)win dow and down up on that street, and gone like the (Gm7)mid night was that man. But I see his (F)six strings laid a gainst that wall, and all his (Gm7)things, they all look so small. I’ve got my fin gers crossed on a shoot ing star. Just like (Gm7)me, just moved on. And the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in. Sixth Av e nue (Bb)heart ache, heart ache. And the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in. Sixth Av e nue (Bb)heart ache, heart (F)ache. Now it’s drawn me in. Oh, and the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in. Sixth Av e nue (Bb)heart ache, heart (F)ache. Now it’s drawn me in. Oh, and the same (C)ache.
