Tangled Up Puppet

      D
I'm a tangled up puppet
                   Em7
Spinning 'round in knots
        A7              Em7
And the more I see what used to be
    A7               D
The less of you I've got


            D             D/C#    
There was a time that you curled 
        D/B         D/A
up in my lap like a child
      G           G/F#          
You'd cling to me smiling, your 
Em7           Em/D
eyes wide and wild
        Bm              Bm/A      
Now you slip through my arms, wave
   Bm/G#      Em/G
 a passing hello
Em             Em/D          
Twist away and toss a kiss, 
A/C#           D
laughing as you go


            D               D/C#  
You used to say "Read me a story 
    D/B              D/A
and sing me songs of love"
      G                 G/F#      
For you were Princess Paradise on 
     Em7       Em/D
the wings of a dove
        Bm              Bm/A      
Now I chase you and tease you 
   Bm/G#      Em/G
trying to remake you my own
Em                         
But you just turn away and say 
Em/D         A/C#      D         G/A
"please leave me alone."

And I'm a tangled up puppet all 
                   Em7
hanging in your strings
        A7             Em7        
I'm a butterfly in a spider's web,
   A7            D
 fluttering my wings
And the more that I keep dancing and
                   Em7
 spinning round in knots
     A7              Em7          
The more I see what used to be and
      A7               D
 the less of you I've got


            D             D/C#    
You are a drawer full of makeup 
   D/B        D/A
and rinses and things
            G           G/F#      
You keep changing your moods like 
       Em7        Em/D
your earrings and rings
        Bm              Bm/A      
But tonight while we played tag 
        Bm/G#         Em/G
for five minutes in the yard
Em          Em/D     A/C#       
Just for a moment I caught you 
     D       G/A
off guard


            D                  
And I'm a tangled up puppet all 
                   Em7
hanging in your strings
        A7             Em7        
I'm a butterfly in a spider's web,
   A7            D
 fluttering my wings
And the more that I keep dancing and
                   Em7
 spinning round in knots
     A7              Em7          
The more I see what used to be and
      A7               D
 the less of you I've got


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


       D                D/C#      
I have watched you take shape from
   Bm        D/A
 a jumble of parts
     G                 G/F#      
And find the grace and form of a 
Em           Em/D
fine work of art
     F#7              Bm   
Hey you my brand new woman      
Bm/A       Bm/G#         Em/G
newly come into your own
Em7                 Em/D         
Don't you know that you don't 
     Em/C#    A   D
need to grow up all alone
