6th Avenue Heartache

Sirens (F)ring, the shots ring out.

A stranger (Gm7)cries,

screams out (Bb)loud.

I had my (F)world strapped against my (C)back.

I held my (Gm7)hands,

never 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 Avenue (Bb)heartache.

(Bb)Below (F)me there was a homeless man

singing (Gm7)songs I knew (Bb)complete.

On the steps alone,

his guitar in hand.

It's fifty (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 Avenue (Bb)heartache.

And the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me,

and now it's drawn me in.

Sixth Avenue (Bb)heartache.

And the same heartache.

(Bb)Walking (F)home on the streets, the river (Gm7)winds

move my (Bb)feet.

The subway (F)steam, like silhouettes in dreams,

they stood by (Gm7)me

just like (Bb)moonbeams.

And the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me,

and now it's drawn me in.

Sixth Avenue (Bb)heartache, heartache.

And the same black line that was drawn on you was (C)drawn on me,

and now it's drawn me in.

Sixth Avenue (Bb)heartache, (F)heartache.

(Bb)Looked out the (F)window and down upon that street,

and gone like the (Gm7)midnight was that man.

But I see his (F)six strings laid against that wall,

and all his (Gm7)things,

they all look so small.

I've got my fingers crossed on a shooting star.

Just like me,
