[intro]

   Am                  G
He sleeps all alone on 2nd Street
       Am                     G
With a roof over his head and food to eat
    C                     F
But he can hardly make it day to day cuz
C                      F                 F              G    G
Everything he wants is six blocks away,     six blocks away

He's got a regular job and it pays the rent
In a donut shop on 3rd and 10th
But he doesn't understand why she turned him away
He can hear her heart beat six blocks away, six blocks away

C                 F
Six blocks away, dirty old street
C                 F
Six blocks away, he can hear her heart beat
C                 F
Six blocks away, dirty old street
C                 F                          F              G    G
Six blocks away, he can hear her heart beat     six blocks away

[Guitar solo; same chords as verse]

He walks real fast down the dirty street
He turns his eyes from the people he meets
It hurts so bad, what can he say
He sends her a message six blocks away, six blocks away

Six blocks away, dirty old street; six blocks away, he can hear her heart beat
Six blocks away, dirty old street; six blocks away, he can hear her heart beat
Six blocks away

C              F   C   F
   Six blocks away
C              F   C   F   C   F   C   F   C   F   C.
   Six blocks away         [instrumental ending]
