Like a bird on the wire,
A E
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
A A7 D
I have tried in my way to be free.
A E7 A
Like a worm on a hook,
A E
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
A A7 D
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
A E7 A A7
If I, if I have been unkind,
D A
I hope that you can just let it go by.
Bm Bm7 A A7
If I, if I have been untrue
D A
I hope you know it was never to you.
Bm Bm7 E
Oh Like a baby, stillborn,
A E
Like a beast with his horn
A A7 D

I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
A E7 A
But I swear by this song
A E
And by all that I have done wrong
A A7 D
I will make it all up to thee.
A E7 A A7
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
D A
He said to me, you must not ask for so much.
Bm Bm7 A A7
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
D A
She cried to me, hey, why not ask for more?
Bm Bm7 E
Oh like a bird on the wire,
A E
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
A A7 D
I have tried in my way to be free.
A E D A
