Verse 1:
       F                  C
Sirens ring,   shots ring out,
           Gm                    Bb
a stranger cries,... screams out loud,
         F                             C
I had my world,... strapped against my back,
          Gm                    Bb
I held my hands,... never  knew how  to act,

Chorus:
         F
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
    C                                 Gm
was drawn on me, and now its drawn me in,

Below me, was a homeless man,
            Gm                   Bb
I'm singing songs,... I knew com-plete,
             F                        C
On the steps alone,... his guitar in hand,
       Gm                           Bb
his 50 years,... he stood where he stands,

Chorus:
         F
Well the same black line that was drawn on you

Verse 3:
                F                 C
Now I'm walking home,... on those streets,
          Gm                 Bb
the river winds,... move my feet
           F                              C
The subway steam,... like silhouettes in dreams,
         Gm                                   Bb
Stood by me,... stood by me:  just like moon-beams,

Verse 4:
             F                      C
Look out the window, down upon that street,
                 Gm                  Bb
And gone like at midnight, was, that man,
              F                                 C
but I see his six strings,... laid against that wall,
            Gm                           Bb
and all his things,... they all look so small,
                 F                          C
I got my fingers crossed,... on  a shooting star
          Gm                 Bb
just like me,... just moved, on

Chorus:
         F
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
    C                                 Gm
was drawn on me, and now its drawn me in,
           Bb
