Bird in a cage   


C 
Left you last night on the left coast 
                           G 
Writin' you a letter right now 
    C                  F 
The things that you do render in you 
G                          C 
Somethin' I can't live without 
 
C 
Maybe maybe I've got a pulse now 
                    G 
Maybe my heart's on fire 
      C                           F 
But a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 
           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 
                                   F 
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 
           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 
 
C 
Left you last night on the left half 
                           G 
The land of the free to be burned 
         C                     F 
Well the heat of your touch is makin' it such 
            G                      C 
And I've forgotten everything I've learned 
 
C 
Maybe maybe I've got a problem 
                   G 
Maybe my heart's a liar 
      C                           F 
But a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 
           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 
                                   F 
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 
           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 
 
Am        F              C       G 
And I may be a bird in a cage 
                  Am        F   C   G 
But it least it's your cage 
Am        F              C    G 
And I may be a bird in a cage 
                  Am        F   C   G 
But it least it's your cage 
 
C 
Left you last night on the left half 
                                     G 
Of the bed, the half that used to be mine 
         C                         F 
Well the way that you sleep is the image I keep 
G                        C 
Always on the edge of my mind 
 
C 
Maybe maybe I got a reason 
                              G 
For livin' even though I'm so tired 
      C                           F 
But a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 
           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 
                                   F 
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 
           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 
 
Am        F              C       G 
And I may be a bird in a cage 
                  Am        F   C   G 
But it least it's your cage 
Am        F              C    G 
And I may be a bird in a cage 
                  Am        F   C   G 
But it least it's your cage 
 
C 
Maybe maybe you are the only 
                 G 
one my heart's desired 
      C                           F
