Like
a (A)bird on the (E)wire,
like a (A)drunk in a midnight (D)choir
I have(A) tried in my (E)way
to be (A)free (Asus4)
- (A)
Like a (A)worm on a (E)hook,
like a (A)knight from some old-fashioned
(D)book
I have (A)saved all my (E)ribbons
for (A)thee (Asus4)
- (A)
(D)If I, if I have been un(A)kind
(Bmin)I hope that you can just let it go
(A)by
(D)If I, if I have been un(A)true,
(Bmin)I hope you know it was never to (E)you.
Like a baby
stillborn, like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Like a bird on
the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
