LYRICS
Like a (D)bird on a (A)wire,
like a (D)drunk in a old 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)drunk in a old mid night (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 for (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 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 (A7)way to be (G)free.
