[Intro]
Like a Fbird, on a Cwire, like a Fdrunk in a midnight Bbchoir.
I have Ftried in my Cways to be Fsus4free. F  
[Verse]
Like a Ffish, on a Chook, like a Fknight in some old fashioned
Bbbook.
I have Fsaved all my Cribbons for Fsus4thee. F  
And if BbI, if I have been unFkind.
I just Gmhope you, will let it go Fby.
And if BbI, if I have been unFtrue.
I just Gmhope you know, it was never to Cyou.
Like a Fbaby, stillCborn, like a Fbeast with his Bbhorn.
I have Ftorn everyCone who reached out to Fsus4me. F  
But I Fswear,by this Csong,and by Fall that I have done Bbwrong.
FI'll make it Call up to Fsus4thee. F  
I saw a Bbyoung man, leaning on his wooden Fcrutch.
He called Gmout to me, don't ask for so Fmuch.
And a Bbyoung woman, leaning in her darkened Fdoor.
She cried Gmout to me, hey why not ask for Cmore.
[Outro]
Like a Fbird, on a Cwire, like a Fdrunk in a midnight Bbchoir.
I have Ftried in my Cways to be Bbfree.F
