Bird On Thewire chords

Like a [A]bird on the [E]wire,
like a [A]drunk in a midnight [D]choir
I have [A]tried in my [E]way to be [A]free.[Asus4] [A] [Asus2] [A]
Like a worm on a [E]hook,
like a [A]knight from some old fashioned [D]book
I have [A]saved all my [E]ribbons for [A]thee.[Asus4] [A] [Asus2] [A]

[D]If I, if I have been un[A]kind,
[Bm]I hope that you can just let it go [A]by.
[D]If I, if I have been un[A]true
[Bm]I hope you know it was never to [E]you.[Esus4] [E]

Like a [A]baby, still[E]born,
like a [A]beast with his [D]horn
I have [A]torn every[E]one who reached out for [A]me. [Asus4] [A] [Asus2] [A]
But I swear by this [E]song
and by [A]all that I have done [D]wrong
[A]I will make it [E]all up to [A]thee.[Asus4] [A] [Asus2] [A]

[D]I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden [A]crutch,
[Bm]he said to me, "You must not ask fo[A]r so much."
[D]And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened [A]door,
[Bm]she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask[E] for [Esus4]more'&[E]quot;

Oh like a [A]bird on the [E]wire,
like a [A]drunk in a midnight [D]choir
I have [A]tried in my [E]way to be [D]free.[A]
