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# D/B D/A There was a time that you curled up in my lap like a child G G/F# Em7 Em/D You'd cling to me smiling, your eyes wide and wild Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Em/G Now you slip through my arms, wave a passing hello Em Em/D A/C# D Twist away and toss a kiss, laughing as you go D D/C# D/B D/A You used to say "Read me a story and sing me songs of love" G G/F# Em7 Em/D For you were Princess Paradise on the wings of a dove Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Em/G Now I chase you and tease you trying to remake you my own Em Em/D A/C# D G/A But you just turn away and say "please leave me alone." D Em7 And I'm a tangled up puppet all hanging in your strings A7 Em7 A7 D I'm a butterfly in a spider's web, fluttering my wings Em7 And the more that I keep dancing and spinning round in knots A7 Em7 A7 D The more I see what used to be and the less of you I've got D D/C# D/B D/A You are a drawer full of makeup and rinses and things G G/F# Em7 Em/D You keep changing your moods like your earrings and rings Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Em/G But tonight while we played tag for five minutes in the yard Em Em/D A/C# D G/A Just for a moment I caught you off guard D Em7 And I'm a tangled up puppet all hanging in your strings A7 Em7 A7 D I'm a butterfly in a spider's web, fluttering my wings Em7 And the more that I keep dancing and spinning round in knots A7 Em7 A7 D The more I see what used to be and 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# Bm D/A I have watched you take shape from a jumble of parts G G/F# Em Em/D And find the grace and form of a fine work of art F#7 Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Em/G Hey you my brand new woman newly come into your own Em7 Em/D Em/C# A D Don't you know that you don't need to grow up all alone
