I'm a [D D] tangle up [Dmaj7 Dmaj7] puppet [Bm Bm] spinning round in [A7 A7] knots
And the [A A] more I see of what [A7 A7] used to be, the [A A] less of you I
[D D] got

[D D] There was a time that you [Dmaj7 Dmaj7] curled up in my [Bm Bm] lap like a
[D D] child
You?d [G G] cling to me [G G] smiling your [G G] eyes wide and [G G]
wild
Now you [Bm Bm] slip through my [D D] arms, wave a [Bm Bm] passing [G G]
hello
[A A] Twist away , and [A7 A7] toss a kiss, [A A] laughing as you [D D] go

[D D] You used to say, Read me a [Dmaj7 Dmaj7] story, and [Bm Bm] sing me songs
of [D D] love?
For [G G] you were Princess [G G] Paradise, on the [G G wings of a
[G G] dove
Now I [Bm Bm] chase you and [D D] tease you trying to [Bm Bm] remake you my
[G G] own
But [A A] you just turn [A7 A7] away and say, [A A] ?Please leave me [D D]
alone." [A A]

And I?m a [D D] tangled up [Dmaj7 Dmaj7] puppet, all [Bm Bm] hanging in your
[A7 A7] strings
I?m a [A A] butterfly in a [A7 A7] spider's web, [A A] fluttering my [D D]
wings
And the [D D] more that I keep [Dmaj7 Dmaj7] dancing, and [Bm Bm] spinning
'round in [A7 A7] knots
The [A A] more I see what [A7 A7] used to be and the [A A] less of you I [D D]
got

You are a [D D] drawer full of [Dmaj7 Dmaj7] make-up and [Bm Bm] rinses and [D D]
things
You keep [G G] changing your [G G] moods like your [G G] earrings and
[G G] rings
But [Bm Bm] tonight while we played [D D] tag for five [Bm Bm] minutes in the
[G G] yard
Well, [A A] just for a [A7 A7] moment, I [A A] caught you off [D D] guard
[A A]

And I?m a [D D] tangled up [Dmaj7 Dmaj7] puppet all [Bm Bm] hanging in your [A7 A7]
strings;
I?m a [A A] butterfly in a [A7 A7] spider's web, [A A] fluttering my [D D]
wings
And the [D D] more that I keep [Dmaj7 Dmaj7] dancing, and [Bm Bm] spinning
'round in [A7 A7] knots,
The [A A] more I see what [A7 A7] used to be and the [A A] less of you I [D D]
got

But for [Bm Bm] now you write your [G G] secret poems in a
[A A] room just for your [Bm Bm] dreams
You [G G] don't find time to [Bm Bm] talk to me [A A] about the things you
mean. . .
What I [G G] mean is

I have [D D] watched you takes [Dmaj7 Dmaj7] shape from a [Bm Bm] jumble of [D D]
parts
And [G G] find the grace and [G G] form of a [G G] fine work of [G G]
art
Hey, [Bm Bm] you, my brand new [D D] woman, newly [Bm Bm] come into your
[G G] own,
[A A] Don't you know that [A7 A7] you don't need to [A A] grow up all [D D]
alone
