Bird On A Wire Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Like [G]a bird on [D]the wire,
Like [G]a drunk in a midnight [C]choir
I have [G]tried in my [D]way to be [G]free.[C]
[G]Like a fish on [D]a hook,
Like [G]a knight from an old fashioned [C]book
I have [G]saved all my [D]ribbons for [G]thee.
[C]If I have been un[G]kind,
I [Am]hope that [C]you could just let it go [G]by.
And [C]if I have been un[G]true
[C]I hop[Am]e you kno[C]w it was
never to [D]you. no, no

[Verse 2]
Like [G]a baby, still[D]born,
Like [G]a beast with his [C]horn
I have [G]torn every[D]one
who reached out for me.
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]But I s[G]wear by this son[D]g
By [G]all I have done [C]wrong
[G]I'll make it [D]all up to [G]you. yes I will
[C]I saw a beggar leaning
on his wooden [G]crutch,
H [Am]called out to me,
[C]"don't ask for so [G]muc[C]h."
And a young man leaning on
his darkene[G]d door,
He [Am]cried out to me, "hey,
[C]why not ask for mor[D]e?"

[Verse 4]
[G]Like a bird on [D]the wire,
Like [G]a drunk in a [C]midnight choir
I have [G]tried [D]in my way to be [G]free.
