C
Left you last night on the left coast
                           G
Writin' you a letter right now
    C                  F
The things that you do render in you
G                          C
Somethin' I can't live without

C
Maybe maybe I've got a pulse now
                    G
Maybe my heart's on fire
      C                           F
But a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
           G                   C
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
                                   F
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
           G                   C
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire

C
Left you last night on the left half
                           G
The land of the free to be burned
         C                     F
Well the heat of your touch is makin' it such
            G                      C
And I've forgotten everything I've learned

C
Maybe maybe I've got a problem
                   G
Maybe my heart's a liar
      C                           F
But a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
           G                   C
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
                                   F
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
           G                   C
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire

Am        F              C       G
And I may be a bird in a cage
                  Am        F   C   G
But it least it's your cage
Am        F              C    G
And I may be a bird in a cage
                  Am        F   C   G
But it least it's your cage

C
Left you last night on the left half
                                     G
Of the bed, the half that used to be mine
         C                         F
Well the way that you sleep is the image I keep
G                        C
Always on the edge of my mind

C
Maybe maybe I got a reason
                              G
For livin' even though I'm so tired
      C                           F
But a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
           G                   C
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
                                   F
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
           G                   C
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire

Am        F              C       G
And I may be a bird in a cage
                  Am        F   C   G
But it least it's your cage
Am        F              C    G
And I may be a bird in a cage
                  Am        F   C   G
But it least it's your cage

C
Maybe maybe you are the only
                 G
one my heart's desired
      C                           F
But a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
           G                   C
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
                                   F
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
           G                   C
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
                                   F
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
           G                   C
