I bet you guys will like these chords over the others here. I got these by a combination
videos you can see on youtube.com and I think it's way easier and sound's better.

Capo 3rd fret
[Verse 1]
Sirens [D] ring, shots rang [A] out,
A stranger [Em] cries,... screams out [G] loud,
I had my [D] world,... strapped against my [A] back,
I held my [Em] hands,... never knew [G] how to act,
chorus:Well the [D] same black line that was drawn on you
was [A] drawn on me, and now its drawn me [Em] in,
6th avenue [G] heartache
[Verse 2]
Below [D] me, was a homeless [A] man,
I'm singing [Em] songs,... I knew com - [G] plete,
On the steps [D] alone,.... his guitar in [A] hand,
his 50 [Em] years,.... he stood where he [G] stands,
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
[Verse 3]
Now I'm walking [D] home,... on those [A] streets,
the river [Em] winds,.... move my [G] feet
The subway [D] steam,.... like silhouettes in [A] dreams,
Stood by [Em] me,...... [stood by me] just like moon - [G] beams,
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
[Verse 4]
Look out the [D] window, down upon that [A] street,
Gone like at [Em] midnight, was, that [G] man,
but I see his [D] six strings,.. layed against that [A] wall,
and all his [Em] things,.... they all look so [G] small,
I got my fingers [D] crossed,... on a shooting [A] star
just like [Em] me,..... just moved, [G] just moved on
[Chorus]
(repeat)
Now you can also play with these chords a little bit to spice it up a little. It sounds
good when you get it down.

This in more of the real strum pattern:
V V V^V^V V^V
But I like to add a little touch of my own.
Also, I've been playing with the solo in the beginning. I know i'm a little off but if
have any better ways to play it, please email me at ChristopherTancrell@yahoo.com.
These are writtin without the Capo in mind so 10th fret is 10th fret.
