Bird On The Wire

        A           E         
Like a bird on the wire, like a 
    A                   D
drunk in a midnight choir
         A          E           A
I have tried in my way to be free
   Asus4  A

        A         E             A
Like a worm on a hook, like a 
                             D
knight from some old-fashioned book
        A            E            
I have saved all my ribbons for 
A   Asus4  A
thee
       D                         A
         If I, if I have been unkind
       Bm                        
         I hope that you can just 
            A
let it go by
       D                     
         If I, if I have been 
     A
untrue,

       Bm                      
         I hope you know it was 
           E   Esus4  E
never to you.


[Verse 2]
        A          E            A
Like a baby stillborn, like a 
              D
beast with his horn
         A        E               
I have torn everyone who reached 
       A   Asus4  A
out for me.
        A            E           
But I swear by this song and by 
A                      D
all that I have done wrong
A               E          A   
 I will make it all up to thee.

       D                           
         I saw a beggar leaning on 
            A
his wooden crutch
       Bm                        
         He said to me, "You must 
             A
not ask for so much."
       D                           
         And a pretty woman leaning
                  A
 in her darkened door,
       Bm                          
         She cried to me, "Hey, why
            E   Esus4  E
 not ask for more?"
