intro:
Verse:
Eyes to take you dancing,
/
Mouth to leave your wife,
Legs to run away with, and you wonder why
/
Heart that makes you bypass every other girl
Smile that keeps you grinning at the madness of this world
Chorus:
And like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you,
You wouldn't want me to
For I'm too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below.
(as verse)
And with a tongue built from quick silver
And a character of steel
They actually come and ask me how I feel
interlude: verse chords once then chorus chords once
(as chorus)
And like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you,
You wouldn't want me to
For I'm too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below,
down below,
down below,
down below.
