Tom: D
D A
Like a bird on a wire,
D G
Like a drunk in a midnight choir,
D A D
I have tried in my way to be free,
D A
Like a worm on a hook,
D G
Like a knight from an old fashioned book,
D A D
I have saved all my ribbons for thee,
D A
And if I, if I've been unkind,
D
I hope that you will let it go by,
G
And if I, if I've been untrue,
A D
I hope you know it was never to you,
D A
Like a baby, still born,
D G
Like a beast with his horn,
D A D
I have torn every one who reached out to me,
D A
I saw a beggar leaning on his crutch,
D
He said to me "Don't ask for so much",
G
And a woman leaning in her dark door,
A D
She cried to me "Why not ask for more",
A
So I swear by this song,
D G
I swear by all I've done wrong,
D A D
I will make it, I will make it, all up to you.
