Bird On A Wire

       D          A
Like a bird on a wire
          D                G
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
          D        A       D      G        D
I have tried in my own way to be free

           D          A
Like a fish on a hook
           D                       G
Like a knight from an old fashioned book
 D                       A          D      G      D
I have saved all my ribbons for thee


[Chorus]
     G                D
And if I have been unkind
       Em                          D
I hope that you'll just let it go by
       G                D
And if I have been untrue
       Em                    A
I hope you know it was never to you


[Verse]
         D          A
Like a baby stillborn
         D             G
Like a beast with his horn
          D        A                D     G        D
I have torn everyone who's reached out for me


[Chorus]
     G                D
And if I have been unkind
       Em                          D
I hope that you'll just let it go by
       G                D
And if I have been untrue
       Em                    A
I hope you know it was never to you

          D            A
But I swear by this song
         D             G
By all I have done wrong
   Em         A        D     G     G
I'll make it all up to you


       D          A
Like a bird on a wire
          D                G
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
          D        A       D      G        D
I have tried in my own way to be free
