Bird on a Wire

(D)Like A bird on A (A)wire,
Like A (D)drunk in A midnight (G)choir,
I have (D)tried in my (A)way to be (G)free,- (D)

Like A worm on A (A)hook,
Like a (D)knight from an old fashioned (G)book,
I have (D)saved all my (A)ribbons for (G)thee,- (D)

And if I, if I've been un(A)kind,
I hope that you will let it go (D)by,
And if I, if I've been un(G)true,
I (A)hope you know it was never to (D)you,

Like A baby, still(A)born,
Like A (D)beast with his (G)horn,
I have (D)torn every(A)one who reached out to (G)me,- (D)

I saw a beggar leaning on his (A)crutch,
He said to me "Don?t ask for so (D)much",
And a woman leaning in her dark (G)door,
She (A)cried to me " Why not ask for (D)more",

So I swear by this (A)song,
I (D)swear by all I?ve done (G)wrong,
I will (D)make it, I will (A)make it, all up to (G)you.- (D)
