Bird On A Wire

INTRO: C

                 G            C                   F
Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
       C           G         C     F  C
I have tried in my way to be free
                 G            C            C7            F
Like a worm on a hook, like a knight in an old fashioned book
       C            G           C     F  C
I have saved all my ribbons for thee



And if I___ have been unkind
  F                       G
I hope you will let it go by
       C
And if I___, I have been untrue

        F                     G
Well, I hope you know, it was not to you


       C         G            C              F
Like a babe stillborn, like a beast with his horn
       C         G                      C   F  C
I have torn everyone who reached out to me
                     G           C                    F
But I swear, by this song and by all that I have done wrong
            C        G                 C     F  C
That I will make it, make it all up to thee


INSTRUMENTAL: C  G  C  F  C  G  C  F  C



I saw a man leaning on his crutch
        F                      G
And he said to me, "Why do you ask for so much?"
            C
But I saw a woman, she was leaning in a door
        F                         G   G7  G
And she cried out to me, "Why not ask for more"


       C         G            C                   F
Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
       C           G         C     F  C
I have tried in my way to be free
                     G           C                    F
But I swear, by this song and by all that I have done wrong
