        / 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, / /
        / E         /                    / 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?" / / /
