	A	E	A	D
Like a b	ird on the w	ire, like a dr	unk in a midnight ch	oir

	A	E	Asus4	A
I have tr	ied in my w	ay to be free

	A	E	A	D
Like a w	orm on a h	ook, like a kn	ight from some old-fashioned b	ook

	A	E	Asus4	A
I have s	aved all my r	ibbons for thee

	D	A
	If I, if I have been unk	ind

	Bm	A
	I hope that you can just let it go b	y

	D	A
	If I, if I have been untr	ue,

	Bm	E
	I hope you know it was never to y	ou.

Like a baby stillborn, like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone who reached out for me.

But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong

I will make it all up to thee.

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch

He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."

And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,

She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

	A	E	A	D
Like a b	ird on the w	ire, like a dr	unk in a midnight ch	oir

	A	E	D	A
I have tr	ied in my w	ay to be free
