Like a / Bird, / on a / Wire, / /
        / E           /          / 
Like a / drunk, in a / Midnight / 
A      / /

        / E    /         / B     / /
Like a / fi - / sh on a / hook, / /
        / E         /          
Like a / knight in / some old 
          / A     / /
fashioned / book, / /
        / E     /          / B

        / E    /             / B     
Like a / baby / - - still - / born,

/
        / E     /          / A     /
Like a / beast / with his / horn, /
        / E    /       / B
I have / torn / every / one,
     / B              / E   / / /
Who / reached out to / me, / / /

        / E    /             / B     
But I / swe - / ar, by this / song,

I saw a / young man, / leaning,
A       /        / E       / / /
On his / wooden / crutch, / / /
A          /            / / /
He called / out to me, / / /
        / A          / B       / / /
"Don't / ask for so / much.", / / / 
and
   / A     /       /
A / young / woman / leaning,
A   /     / E        /       / / /
In / her / darkened / door, / / /
           / A          / / /
She cried / out to me, / / /
      / A           / B      / / /
"Why / not ask for / more?" / / /
