[D]
Like a bird on the [A] wire Like [D] a drunk in a midnight [G] choir
I [D] have tried in my [A] way to [D] be free
Like a worm [A] on a hook Like a knife from an old-fashioned [G] book
I've [D] saved all my [A] ribbons for a thief
[D] [G] And if I've been [D] unkind
I [Em] hope that you just let it go [D] by
[G] And if I've been [D] untrue
I [Em] hope that you know it was never [A] to you
[D] Like a baby
[A] stillborn [D] Like a beast [G] with his heart
[D] I've torn every [A] word that's reached [D] out for me
[A] [D]
[G] And
[A] [D]
[G] if I've been [D] so unkind
I [Em] hope that you just let it [D] all go by
And [G] if I've been [D] untrue
I [Em] hope that you know [E] it was never to [A] you
But I [D] swear by [A] this song and [D] by all that I have [G] done wrong
I will [D] make it all
[A] up [D] to [G] thee
[D] Like a bird on [A] the wire [D] Like a drunk in a midnight [G] choir
I [D] have tried [A] in my way to [D] be free
I have tried in my [A] own way to be [F] free
