He sleeps all alone on Second Street 
       Bm                     A 
With a roof over his head and food to eat 
    D                     G 
But he can hardly make it day to day cause 
D                      G                            A 
Everything he wants is six blocks away   six blocks away 
           Bm                 A 
He's got a regular job and it pays the rent 
     Bm            A  
In a donut shop on 3rd and 10th 
       D                          G 
But he doesn't understand why she turned him away 
D               G                                     A         
He can hear her heart beat six blocks away six blocks away 
D                G 
Six blocks away dirty old street 
D               G 
Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat 
D               G 
Six blocks away dirty old street 
D               G                                     A 
Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat six blocks away

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

Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat

Six blocks away dirty old street 
D               G                                     A
