6th Avenue Heartache
Intro F C Gm Bb
[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]
