Bird On A Wire

       G           D             
Like a bird on a wire, like a 
G                   C
drunk in a midnight choir
        G          D             G
I have tried in my way to be free
       G         D             G 
Like a fish on a hook, like a 
                            C
knight from some old-fashioned book
       G            D            G
I have saved all my ribbons for thee

C                         G
If I, if I have been unkind
Am                              D
I hope that you can let it go by
C                          G
If I, if I have been untrue,

Am                                 D
I hope you know it was never to you.

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

C                              
I saw a young man leaning on his 
           G
wooden crutch
Am                                
He called out to me, "Don’t ask 
      D
for so much."
C                              
And a young woman leaning in her 
            G
darkened door,
Am                                
She cried out to me, "Why not ask 
      D
for more?"

        G           D             
Like a bird on a wire, like a 
G                   C
drunk in a midnight choir
         G          D         C G
I have tried in my way to be free
