Bird in a cage
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

Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage

And I may be a bird in a cage

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
