VERSE 1
        D                A
Sirens ring, shots rang out
            Em                 G
A stranger cries, screams out loud
          D                         A
I had my world, strapped against my back
           Em               G
I held my hands, never knew   how to act


CHORUS
          D
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
    A                                  Em
Was drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in
            G

VERSE 3
                 D             A
Now I’m walking home, on those streets
           Em            G
The river wins, move my feet
            D                         A
The subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
         Em                 G
Stood by me, just like moon-beams


CHORUS (x2)
          D
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
    A                                  Em
Was drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in
            G

VERSE 4
             D                       A
Look out the window, down upon that street
             Em                  G
Gone like at midnight, was, that   man
              D                               A
But I see his six strings, laid against that wall
            Em                       G
And all his things, they all look so small
                 D                      A
I got my fingers crossed, on a shooting star
          Em             G
Just like me, just moved,  just moved on


CHORUS (x4)
         D
Well the same black line that was drawn on you
    A                                  Em
Was drawn on me, and now it’s drawn me in
            G
