Bird on the Wire  Leonard Cohen

Like a b[E]ird on the w[B]ire
Like a dr[E]unk in an old midni[A]ght choir
I have tr[E]ied in my w[B]ay to be fr[E]ee[B]
Like a w[E]orm on a h[B]ook
Like a kn[E]ight bent down in some ol[A]d fashioned book
It was the sh[E]ape of our l[B]ove that twist[E]ed me[E7]
If I have b[A]een unkind, if I have been unk[E]ind
Oh I hope you [F#m]can find a way to let it all g[E]o right on by
If I have b[A]een un, if I have been untrue, if I have been[E] untrue
It's just that I thought a l[F#m]over had to be some kind of liar t[B]oo[Bsus4] [B]
Like a little baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
By all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee
Ah don't cry, don't, don't cry, don't cry no more
It's over now, it's over, babe, don't cry no more
I say don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry anymore
It's over, it's finished, it's completed and has, it has been paid for
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in some old midnight choir
I have tr[E]ied in my w[B]ay to be fr[A]ee[E]
