Bird On A Leash

Am                       F
As crass as your mother, keen to the
 chance,
          C                        
You would live by the seat of your 
G
pants,
             Am                    
And you were taught you should have
     F
 all things you can take,
             C                     
It's getting caught that makes you 
  G
a thief.
                    Am
By the skin of your teeth.

It's true you were running for 
cover,
    G                          Am
The worst of the worst was not done,
          F                   C
You can't find comfort in any other,
G                         Am
Set in your ways like the sun.


        Am               F
Not one tune had changed like 
scattered leaves,

        C                         
All her clothes strung out on the 
G
eves.
          Am                       
There's a reckoning that's coming 
  F
to make something right,
          C                        
There's a man here who's picking a 
G
fight,
                   Am           F 
It's on like a light.
         C

   G                     Am
No future or history too bright.

Shee----ee's worrying me,
F              C
A bird on some leash,
       G                    Am
Flying nowhere but dying to be.

Caught by some pride,

Only virtue will get you untied.
