[E] [B] Like [E] a bird on [B] the wire Like a [E] drunk in some old midnight [A] choir
I [E] have tried in [B] my way to [E] be free
[A]
[E] [B] Like [E] a worm [B] on a hook Like a night [E] band down in some old [A] fashioned book
It was [E] the shape, the shape of our [B] love
That [E] twisted me, [A]
if I have been [A] unkind
Ah, if I have been [E] unkind
I hope that you can [F#m] find a way
To let it all go [E] right on by
If I have been [A] untrue
Ah, if I have been [E] untrue
It's just that I thought [F#m] a lover
Has to be some kind of lie [B] or two

I saw [A] this beggar
He was leaning on his wooden [E] crutch
He says to me, come on [F#m] Leonard
You just can't ask for [B] all that [E] much
There was a [A] pretty woman
Ah, she was standing in [E] her darkened door
She says to me, hey, [F#m] why not ask
Why not ask for just [B] a little bit [E] more
Like [B]
a [E] bird
