Tangled Up Puppet
Harry Chapin (klr)
capo 5th fret
I?m a [[D]] tangle up [[Dmaj7]] puppet [[Bm]] spinning round in [[A7]] knots
And the [[A]] more I see of what [[A7]] used to be, the [[A]] less of you I
[[D]] got
[[D]] There was a time that you [[Dmaj7]] curled up in my [[Bm]] lap like a
[[D]] child
You?d [[G]] cling to me [[G]/f#] smiling your [[G]/e] eyes wide and [[G]]
wild
Now you [[Bm]] slip through my [[D]] arms, wave a [[Bm]] passing [[G]/e]
hello
[[A]] Twist away , and [[A7]] toss a kiss, [[A]] laughing as you [[D]] go
[[D]] You used to say, ?Read me a [[Dmaj7]] story, and [[Bm]] sing me songs
of [[D]] love?
For [[G]] you were Princess [[G]/f#] Paradise, on the [[G]/e] wings of a
[[G]] dove
Now I [[Bm]] chase you and [[D]] tease you trying to [[Bm]] remake you my
[[G]/e] own
But [[A]] you just turn [[A7]] away and say, [[A]] ?Please leave me [[D]]
alone.? [[A]]
And I?m a [[D]] tangled up [[Dmaj7]] puppet, all [[Bm]] hanging in your
[[A7]] strings
I?m a [[A]] butterfly in a [[A7]] spider?s web, [[A]] fluttering my [[D]]
wings
And the [[D]] more that I keep [[Dmaj7]] dancing, and [[Bm]] spinning
?round in [[A7]] knots
The [[A]] more I see what [[A7]] used to be and the [[A]] less of you I [[D]]
got
You are a [[D]] drawer full of [[Dmaj7]] make-up and [[Bm]] rinses and [[D]]
things
You keep [[G]] changing your [[G]/f#] moods like your [[G]/e] earrings and
[[G]] rings
But [[Bm]] tonight while we played [[D]] tag for five [[Bm]] minutes in the
[[G]/e] yard
Well, [[A]] just for a [[A7]] moment, I [[A]] caught you off [[D]] guard
[[A]]
And I?m a [[D]] tangled up [[Dmaj7]] puppet all [[Bm]] hanging in your [[A7]]
strings;
I?m a [[A]] butterfly in a [[A7]] spider?s web, [[A]] fluttering my [[D]]
wings
And the [[D]] more that I keep [[Dmaj7]] dancing, and [[Bm]] spinning
?round in [[A7]] knots,
The [[A]] more I see what [[A7]] used to be and the [[A]] less of you I [[D]]
got
But for [[Bm]] now you write your [[G]] secret poems in a
[[A]] room just for your [[Bm]] dreams
You [[G]] don?t find time to [[Bm]] talk to me [[A]] about the things you
mean. . .
What I [[G]] mean is
I have [[D]] watched you takes [[Dmaj7]] shape from a [[Bm]] jumble of [[D]]
parts
And [[G]] find the grace and [[G]/f#] form of a [[G]/e] fine work of [[G]]
art
Hey, [[Bm]] you, my brand new [[D]] woman, newly [[Bm]] come into your
[[G]/e] own,
[[A]] Don?t you know that [[A7]] you don?t need to [[A]] grow up all [[D]]
alone
I hope you all enjoyed that one.
