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
