_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Like a bird on a [G] wire, _ _ like [C] a drunk in the midnight _ [F] choir, _ _ I [C] have tried _ in [G] my way _ to be [C] free. _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [C] Like a fish _ _ _ [G] on a hook, _ [C] like a knight in some old [F]-fashioned book, _ I [C] have saved _ all [G] my _ ribbons _ [C] for thee. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] And if I, _ _ _ if I have been _ [C] untrue, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I [D] just hope you, I hope you _ _ will let it [G] go by, let it go by. _ _
_ [F] And if I, _ _ _ if I have been _ [C] _ untrue, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I [D] just hope you know, [A] I hope you know, [D] _ _ it was [A] never to [G] you, it was never to _ you. _
_ [C] Like a baby _ _
_ _ [G] _ stillborn, _ _ [C] like a beast _ _ with [F] its horn, _ _ I [C] have torn _ _ _ [G] everyone _ that reached out [C] to me. _
_ _ [G] Oh, _ _ but [C] I swear, I swear [G] by this song, _ and [C] by all that I have [F] done wrong, _
_ _ [C] _ _ _
I'll make it [G] all up _ _ _ [C] to thee. _
_ _ _ _ Oh, I [F] saw a young _ man leaning on his wooden [C] cross. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
He [D] called out to me, calling out to me, don't ask for [G] so much, don't ask for so much.
And [F] a young _ woman _ leaning in her darkened [C] door, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
she [D] cried out to me, [Am]
crying out [D] to me, why not ask [G] for more, why not ask for some more. _ _
Like [C] a bird _ on [G] a wire, _ _ [C] like a drunk in a midnight [F] choir, _ _ I [C] have _ tried in [G] my way _ to [F] be _ free.
