Bird On The Wire

	  		
       E         B7 
Like a bird on a wire 
       E                   A        A7 
Like a drunk in a midnight choir 
       E           B7        E       A   E   E7 
I have tried in my way to be free 
            
       E         B7 
Like a worm on a hook 
       E                              A      A7 
Like a knight from some old fashioned book 
    E            B7           E      A    E    E7    
The shape of our love twisted me 

A                     E        E7 
And if I have been un-kind 
A                                   E      E7                                             
I hope that you will just let it go by 
A                     E       E7 
And if I have been un-true 
A                               B7 
I hope you know it was never to you 
           
       E              B7 
Like a beast with his horn 
       E          A     A7        
Like a baby still-born 
           E          B7                       E 
Yeah, I've torn every-one who's reached out to me 

      E             B7 
But I swear by this song 
   E               A      A7 
By all I have done wrong 
E              B7        E     A   E   E7 
I will make it all up to thee 

A                                    E        E7 
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch 
A                                        E       E7 
She said to me "Hey Josh, why ask for so much?" 
A                                  E        E7 
Saw my lady leaning on her bedroom door 
A                                           B7  
She said to me "C’mon babe, why not ask for more?" 

       E         B7 
Like a bird on a wire 
       E                          A       A7 
Like a drunk in some old midnight choir 
       E           B7        A       E 
I have tried in my way to be free
