Key of D
[Verse]
D A
Like a bird on a wire
D G
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
D A D G D
I have tried in my own way to be free
D A
Like a fish on a hook
D G
Like a knight from an old fashioned book
D A D G D
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
[Chorus]
G D
And if I have been unkind
Em D
I hope that you'll just let it go by
G D
And if I have been untrue
Em A
I hope you know it was never to you
[Verse]
D A
Like a baby stillborn
D G
Like a beast with his horn
D A D G D
I have torn everyone who's reached out for me
[Chorus]
G D
And if I have been unkind
Em D
I hope that you'll just let it go by
G D
And if I have been untrue
Em A
I hope you know it was never to you
D A
But I swear by this song
D G
By all I have done wrong
Em A D G G
I'll make it all up to you
D A
Like a bird on a wire
D G
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
D A D G D
I have tried in my own way to be free
