Verse:

Am
Eyes to take you dancing,
Dm/A
Mouth to leave your wife,
g5                     em
Legs to run away with, and you wonder why

Am                          Dm/A
Heart that makes you bypass every other girl
g5                                   em
Smile that keeps you grinning at the madness of this world

Chorus:

             Am               em
And like the blackbird on the wire
Am              em
I will not take prey on you,
em           Am
You wouldn't want me to
            B               em
For I'm too soft for such a thing
             Am               em
And like the blackbird on the wire
Am     em
I just watch you by
em          Am
The tears I knew I'd cry
       B              em
Fall unnoticed down below.
