verse 1

Like a [A A]bird on the [E7 E7]wire
Like a [A A]drunk in a [A7 A7]midnight [D D]choir
I have [A A]tried in my [E7 E7]way to be [A A]free [Asus4 Asus4][A A]
Like a [A A]worm on a [E7 E7]hook
Like a [A A]knight from some [A7 A7]old fashioned [D D]book
I have [A A]saved all my [E7 E7]ribbons for [A A]thee [Asus4 Asus4][A A]
[D D]If I if I have been un[A A]kind
I [Bm Bm]hope that you can just let it go [A A]by
[D D]If I if I have been un[A A]true
I [Bm Bm]hope you know it was never to [E E]you [Esus4 Esus4][E E][E7 E7]

verse 2

Like a [A A]baby still[E7 E7]born
Like a [A A]beast [A7 A7]with his [D D]horn
I have [A A]torn every[E7 E7]one who reached [A A]out for me [Asus4 Asus4][A A]
But I [A A]swear by this [E7 E7]song
And by [A A]all that [A7 A7]I have done [D D]wrong
I will [A A]make it [E7 E7]all up to [A A]thee [Asus4 Asus4][A A]
[D D]I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden [A A]crutch
[Bm Bm]He said to me you must not ask for so [A A]much [Asus4 Asus4][A A]
[D D]And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened [A A]door
[Bm Bm]She cried to me hey why not ask for [E E]more [Esus4 Esus4][E E][E7 E7]

ending

Like a [A A]bird on the [E7 E7]wire
Like a [A A]drunk in a [A7 A7]midnight [D D]choir
I have [A A]tried in my [E7 E7]way to be [D D]free [A A]
