Verse 
       A         E            A                    D 
Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir 
         A             E          A  Asus4  A 
I have tried in my own way to be free 

       A         E 
Like a worm on a hook 
        A                             D 
Like a knight from some old fashioned book 
       A            E            A  Asus4  A 
I have saved all my ribbons for thee 


    D                A 
And if I have been unkind 
B                             A 
  I hope you will let it slip by 
D                      A 
  And if I have been untrue 
B                                E  Esus4  E 
  I hope you know it was not to you 


Verse 
       A          E 
Like a baby still born 
       A              D 
Like a beast with his horn 
        A               E                  A  Asus4  A 
I have turned from all those who turned to me 

      A             E 
But I swear by this song 
       A                    D 
and by all that I have done wrong 
        A              E            A  Asus4  A 
I have saved all these moments for thee 

 
D                               A 
  I saw a beggar on his broken crutch 
B                                          A 
  He said to me, you shouldn't ask for so much 
D                                      A 
  I saw a pretty lady in her darkened door 
B                                  E  Esus4  E 
  She said to me, why not ask for more?

like a drunk in a midnight choir 
       A            E         Asus4  A 
I have tried in my way to be free
