LYRICS
Like a (D)bird
on a (A)wire,
like a (D)drunk in from some mid night (G)choir,
I have (D)tried
in my (A)way
to be (D)free.
Like a (D)worm
on a (A)hook,
like a (D)knight in from some old ioned (G)book,
I have (D)saved
all my (A)rib
bons for (D)thee.
Like a
If I, if I have been un (D)kind,
I hope that you can just let it go (D)by.
If I,
if I have been un (D)true,
I hope you know it was nev er to (A)you.
More like a (D)ba by still (A)born,
like a (D)beast
with his (G)horn,
I have (D)torn
ev ’ry (A)one who reached out for (D)me.
But I (D)swear
by this (A)song,
and by (D)all that I have done (G)wrong,
I will make it (A)all
up to (D)thee.
I saw a beg gar lean ing on his wood en (D)crutch.
He said to me, “You must not ask for (D)so much.”
And a pret ty wom an lean ing in her dark ened (D)door,
she cried to me, “Hey, why not ask for (A)more?”
More like a (D)bird
on the (A)wi re, like a (D)drunk in a mid night (G)choir,
I have (D)tried
in my (A)way
to be (G)free.
