F C F Bb
Like a bird, on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir.

And if I, if I have been untrue.

Like a baby, stillborn, like a beast with his horn.

Bb F
And a young woman, leaning in her darkened door.
Gm C
She cried out to me, hey why not ask for more.
F C F Bb
Like a bird, on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir.
F C Bb F
I have tried in my ways to be free.
