        A5          E5            A5                    D5
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
         A5          E5             A5  D5  A5
I have tried in my way to be free
        A5          E5             A5                          D5
Like a worm on a hook, like a knight from an old-fashioned book
        A5            E5               A5 D5 A5
I have saved all my ribbons for thee

           D5                        A5
         And if I, have been so unkind
          B5                                 E5
         I hope that you just let it all go by
           D5                         A5
         And if I, have been so untrue,
          B5                                 E5
         I hope that you know it was all to you.

 
       A5         E5            A5                D5
Like a baby stillborn, like a beast with his horn
       A5         E5                    A5   D5   A5
I have torn everyone who reached out for me. .
        A5            E5         A5                      D5
But I swear by this song and all that I have done wrong
       A5          E5         A5  D5 A5
I will make it all up to you.

Its over now baby. Dont cry no more. 

         
        A5           E5            A5                   D5
Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
         A5          E5           A5
I have tried in my way to be free
