Bird On A Wire

/ E / / B / / 
Like a / Bird, / on a / Wire, / / 
/ E / / A / 
Like a / drunk, in a / Midnight / Choir. / 
/ E / / B / / E / / / 
I have / trie-, / ed - in my / way, / - to be / free, / / / 
/ E / / B / 
Like a / fi - / sh on a / hook, / 
/ A / / / 
Like a / knight in some / old fashioned / book, / 
/ E / / B / 
I have / saved / - all my / ribbons, / 
/ E / / / 
For / Thee, / / / and 
 
/ A / / / / E / / / 
If / I, / - -if / I have / been un - / kind, / / / 
/ A / / B / / / 
I just / hope you will / let it go / by, / / / and 
/ A / / / / E / / / 
If / I, / - - if / I have / been un - / true, / / / 
/ A / / / / B / / / 
I / hope you / know / it was / never to / you. / / / 
 
/ E / / B / 
Like a / baby / - - still - / born, / 
/ E / / A / 
Like a / beast / with his / horn, / 
/ E / / B 
I have / torn / every / one, 
/ B / E / / / 
Who / reached out to / me, / / / 
 
/ E / / B / 
But I / swe - / ar, by this / song, / and 
/ E / / A / 
By / all, that / I have done / wrong, / 
E / / / /B / / E / / / 
I‘ll / ma - / ake / it / all up / - - to / thee. / / / 
 
/ A / 
I saw a / young man, / leaning, 
A / / E / / / 
On his / wooden / crutch, / / / 
A / / / / 
He called / out to me, / / / 
/ A / B / / / 
"Don‘t / ask for so / much.", / / / and 
/ A / / 
A / young / woman / leaning, 
A / E / / / / 
In / her / darkened / door, / / / 
/ A / / / 
She cried / out to me, / / / 
/ A / B / / / 
"Why / not ask for / more?" / / /
