| Tangled Up Puppet |
| Harry Chapin (klr) |
| capo 5th fret |
| D | Dmaj7 | Bm | A7 | |
| I'm a | tangle up | puppet | spinning round in | knots |
| A | A7 | A | |
| And the | more I see of what | used to be, the | less of you I |
| D | |
| got |
| D | Dmaj7 | Bm | |
| There was a time that you | curled up in my | lap like a |
| D | |
| child |
| G | G/f# | G/e | G | |
| You'd | cling to me | smiling your | eyes wide and | |
| wild |
| Bm | D | Bm | G/e | |
| Now you | slip through my | arms, wave a | passing | |
| hello |
| A | A7 | A | D | |
| Twist away , and | toss a kiss, | laughing as you | go |
| D | Dmaj7 | Bm | |
| You used to say, Read me a | story, and | sing me songs |
| D | |
| of | love |
| G | G/f# | G/e | |
| For | you were Princess | Paradise, on the | wings of a |
| G | |
| dove |
| Bm | D | Bm | |
| Now I | chase you and | tease you trying to | remake you my |
| G/e | |
| own |
| A | A7 | A | D | |
| But | you just turn | away and say, | Please leave me | |
| A | |
| alone. |
| D | Dmaj7 | Bm | |
| And I'm a | tangled up | puppet, all | hanging in your |
| A7 | |
| strings |
| A | A7 | A | D | |
| I'm a | butterfly in a | spider's web, | fluttering my | |
| wings |
| D | Dmaj7 | Bm | |
| And the | more that I keep | dancing, and | spinning |
| A7 | |
| round in | knots |
| A | A7 | A | D | |
| The | more I see what | used to be and the | less of you I | |
| got |
| D | Dmaj7 | Bm | D | |
| You are a | drawer full of | make-up and | rinses and | |
| things |
| G | G/f# | G/e | |
| You keep | changing your | moods like your | earrings and |
| G | |
| rings |
| Bm | D | Bm | |
| But | tonight while we played | tag for five | minutes in the |
| G/e | |
| yard |
| A | A7 | A | D | |
| Well, | just for a | moment, I | caught you off | guard |
| A | |
| D | Dmaj7 | Bm | A7 | |
| And I'm a | tangled up | puppet all | hanging in your | |
| strings; |
| A | A7 | A | D | |
| I'm a | butterfly in a | spider's web, | fluttering my | |
| wings |
| D | Dmaj7 | Bm | |
| And the | more that I keep | dancing, and | spinning |
| A7 | |
| round in | knots, |
| A | A7 | A | D | |
| The | more I see what | used to be and the | less of you I | |
| got |
| Bm | G | |
| But for | now you write your | secret poems in a |
| A | Bm | |
| room just for your | dreams |
| G | Bm | A | |
| You | don't find time to | talk to me | about the things you |
| mean. . . |
| G | |
| What I | mean is |
| D | Dmaj7 | Bm | D | |
| I have | watched you takes | shape from a | jumble of | |
| parts |
| G | G/f# | G/e | G | |
| And | find the grace and | form of a | fine work of | |
| art |
| Bm | D | Bm | |
| Hey, | you, my brand new | woman, newly | come into your |
| G/e | |
| own, |
| A | A7 | A | D | |
| Don't you know that | you don't need to | grow up all | |
| alone |
| I hope you all enjoyed that one. |
