Troy Cassar-Daley - Bird On A Wire

      [Verse]
        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.
