/ E / / B / /
Like a / Bird, / on a / Wire, / /
/ E / / A /
Like a / drunk, in a / Midnight / Choir. /
/ E / / B / / E / / /
I have / trie-, / ed - in my / way, / - to be / free, / / /
/ E / / B /
Like a / fi - / sh on a / hook, /
/ A / / /
Like a / knight in some / old fashioned / book, /
/ E / / B /
I have / saved / - all my / ribbons, /
/ E / / /
For / Thee, / / / and
/ A / / / / E / / /
If / I, / - -if / I have / been un - / kind, / / /
/ A / / B / / /
I just / hope you will / let it go / by, / / / and
/ A / / / / E / / /
If / I, / - - if / I have / been un - / true, / / /
/ A / / / / B / / /
I / hope you / know / it was / never to / you. / / /
/ E / / B /
Like a / baby / - - still - / born, /
/ E / / A /
Like a / beast / with his / horn, /
/ E / / B
I have / torn / every / one,
/ B / E / / /
Who / reached out to / me, / / /
/ E / / B /
But I / swe - / ar, by this / song, / and
/ E / / A /
By / all, that / I have done / wrong, /
E / / / /B / / E / / /
I'll / ma - / ake / it / all up / - - to / thee. / / /
/ A /
I saw a / young man, / leaning,
A / / E / / /
On his / wooden / crutch, / / /
A / / / /
He called / out to me, / / /
/ A / B / / /
"Don't / ask for so / much.", / / / and
/ A / /
A / young / woman / leaning,
A / E / / / /
In / her / darkened / door, / / /
/ A / / /
She cried / out to me, / / /
/ A / B / / /
"Why / not ask for / more?" / / /
Repeat the first verse
