[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][C][G]
[D][Dm][D][G][Gsus4]
[G]
[D]Like a bird

[Verse 1]
[G]on the [D]wire
Like a [G]drum in an old midnight [C]choir
[G]I've tried in my [D]way to [G]be free
[D]Like a [G]worm on [D]a hook
Like a night [G]bent down in
some old [C]-fashioned
book
It [Am]was the [G]shape, the shape of [D]our love that
[G]If I have been un[C]kind,
oh, if I have [Am]been [G]unkind
I hope [D]you can find [Am]a way
To let it all [G]go right on [D]by
[G]If I have been untru[C]e
If I [D]have [C]been [G]untrue
It's just that [Am]I thought a liar
I thought a lover had to be
Some kind of liar [D]too[G][D][G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]You're not sold,
though, on [D]the saxophone.
[G]Like [Am]a baby [G]stillborn,
[D]like a bea[G]st with his hor[C]n I have tor[G]n
Everyone [D]who reached out for [G]me
[D]But I [G]swear by this [D]song
I swear by [G]all that I have [F]done [C]wrong
I [G]will make it [D]all, all up to
[G]Thee
I saw this beg[C]gar,
he was leaning on [Am]his [G]wooden crutch
He says [D]to me,
[Am]Leonard, you just can't ask for all that [G]much
A [C]pretty [G]wo [C]man,
standing in her darkened [G]room
She cries [Am]out to me,
why not ask for just a little bit [D]more?
Like a bird [G]on [D]the wire
Like a [G]drunk in an old midnight [C]choir
I have tried [G]in my way
[D]To be fre[C]e[G]
you
