Introduction: F    

             INTRO: F  
                  F                          C                                F                                                  Bb  
Like a bird, on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir. 
                  F                             C                          F4     F  
I have tried in my ways to be free. 
                  F                          C                                F          
Like a fish, on a hook, like a knight in some old fashioned      
Bb     
book.    
                  F                                C                             F4     F     
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.    
                  Bb                                                F     
And if I, if I have been unkind.    
                  Gm                                                             F     
I just hope you, will let it go by.    
                  Bb                                                F     
And if I, if I have been untrue.    
                  Gm                                                                             C     
I just hope you know, it was never to you.    
                  F                          C                                F                                     Bb     
Like a baby, stillborn, like a beast with his horn.    
                  F                        C                                                          F4     F     
I have torn everyone who reached out to me.    
                F                                  C                             F                                                     Bb     
But I swear,by this song,and by all that I have done wrong.    
F                                C                        F4     F     
I'll make it all up to thee.    
                     Bb                                                                                  F     
I saw a young man, leaning on his wooden crutch.    
                          Gm                                                                     F     
He called out to me, don't ask for so much.    
                Bb                                                                                             F          
And a young woman, leaning in her darkened door.    
                          Gm                                                                             C     
She cried out to me, hey why not ask for more.    
                  F                          C                                F                                                  Bb     
Like a bird, on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir.    
                  F                             C                          Bb          F     
I have tried in my ways to be free.
