Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir 
       C           G         C     F  C  
I have tried in my way to be free 
                 G            C            C7            F 
Like a worm on a hook, like a knight in an old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee 
  
  
                           
And if I___ have been unkind

I hope you will let it go by 
       C  
And if I___, I have been untrue 
        F                     G  
Well, I hope you know, it was not to you 
  
  
       C         G            C              F  
Like a babe stillborn, like a beast with his horn 
       C         G                      C   F  C  
I have torn everyone who reached out to me 
                     G           C                    F  
But I swear, by this song and by all that I have done wrong 
            C        G                 C     F  C  
That I will make it, make it all up to thee
