INTRO: C
                 G            C                   F 
Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir

       C           G         C     F  C 
I have tried in my way to be free

                 G            C            C7            F
Like a worm on a hook, like a knight in an old fashioned book

       C            G           C     F  C 
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
And if I___ have been unkind
  F                       G 
I hope you will let it go by

       C 
And if I___, I have been untrue

        F                     G 
Well, I hope you know, it was not to you

       C         G            C              F 
Like a babe stillborn, like a beast with his horn

       C         G                      C   F  C 
I have torn everyone who reached out to me

                     G           C                    F 
But I swear, by this song and by all that I have done wrong

            C        G                 C     F  C 
That I will make it, make it all up to thee
INSTRUMENTAL: C G C F C G C F C I saw a man leaning on his crutch
        F                      G
And he said to me, "Why do you ask for so much?"

            C   
But I saw a woman, she was leaning in a door

        F                         G   G7  G
And she cried out to me, "Why not ask for more"

       C         G            C                   F 
Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir

       C           G         C     F  C 
I have tried in my way to be free

                     G           C                    F 
But I swear, by this song and by all that I have done wrong

            C        G                 C     F  C 
That I will make it, make it all up to thee
