VERSE 1:
Like a [A#] bird on a [F] wire
Like a [A#] drunk in a midnight [D#] choir
I have [A#] tried in my [F] ways to be [A#] free [F]

VERSE 2:
Like a [A#] fish, on a [F] hook
Like a [A#] knight in some old fashioned [D#] book
I have [A#] saved all my [F] ribbons for [A#] thee [A#7]

CHORUS 1:
[D#] And if I, if I have been un-[A#]-kind
I just [Cm] hope you, will let it go [A#] by
[D#] And if I, if I have been un-[A#]-true
I just [Cm] hope you know, it was never to [F] you

Like a [A#] baby, still [F] born
Like a [A#] beast with his [D#] horn
I have [A#] torn every-[F]-one who reached out to [A#] me [F]

VERSE 4:
But I [A#] swear, by this [F] song
And by [A#] all that I have done [D#] wrong
[A#] I'll make it [F] all up to [A#] thee [A#7]

CHORUS 2:
[D#] I saw a young man, leaning on his wooden [A#] crutch
He called [Cm] out to me, don't ask for so [A#] much
[D#] And a young woman, leaning in her darkened [A#] door
She cried [Cm] out to me, hey why not ask for [F] more

VERSE 5:
Like a [A#] bird on a [F] wire
Like a [A#] drunk in a midnight [D#] choir
I have [A#] tried in my [F] ways to be [D#] free [A#]
