    E MajorE     B7B7
Like a bird on a wire
    E MajorE          A augmentedA    A7A7
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
    E MajorE      B7B7    E MajorE    A augmentedA  E MajorE  E7E7
I have tried in my way to be free

    E MajorE     B7B7
Like a worm on a hook
    E MajorE               A augmentedA   A7A7
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
  E MajorE      B7B7      E MajorE     A augmentedA  E MajorE  E7E7
The shape of our love twisted me

A augmentedA           E MajorE      E7E7
And if I have been un-kind
A augmentedA                  E MajorE   E7E7
I hope that you will just let it go by
A augmentedA           E MajorE    E7E7
And if I have been un-true
A augmentedA                B7B7
I hope you know it was never to you

    E MajorE       B7B7
Like a beast with his horn
    E MajorE     A augmentedA   A7A7
Like a baby still-born
    E MajorE     A augmentedA            E MajorE    E7E7
I have torn every-one who reached out for me

A augmentedA                  E MajorE    E7E7
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
A augmentedA                     E MajorE    E7E7
She said to me "Hey Isaac, why ask for so much"
A augmentedA                    E MajorE    E7E7
Saw my dreamgirl leaning on her bedroom door
A augmentedA                      B7B7
She said to me "C?mon babe, why not ask for more?"

    E MajorE     B7B7
Like a bird on a wire
    E MajorE             A augmentedA    A7A7
Like a drunk in some old midnight choir
    E MajorE      E7E7    A augmentedA    E MajorE
I have tried in my way to be free
