INTRO-
Bbmaj.7, Fmaj.7 x2
VERSE 1-
Bbmaj.7 Fmaj.7
How did they teach you to be
Just a happy puppet dancing on a string
How did you........learn everything that
Comes along with slavish funnery?
CHORUS-
C Dm
Tell me something if the world is so insane

Is it making you sane again to...
C Dm
Let another man tug at the thread
Am7 F
That pulls up your nodding head?
VERSE 2-

How did they teach you to be
Just a happy puppet dancing on a string
How do you.........manage to live in-
-side this tiny stage you can't leave?
CHORUS-
C Dm
Tell me something if the world is so insane
Am7 F
Is it making you sane again to...
C Dm
Let another man tug at the thread
Am7 F
That pulls up your nodding head?

BREAK-
Bb F
A dullard strung on the wire

When the master's gone, you hang there

With your eyes and your limbs so lifeless

Tell me something if the world is so insane
Am7 F
Is it making you sane again to...
C Dm
Let another man tug at the thread
Am7 F
That pulls up your nodding head?
VERSE 3-
Bbmaj.7 Fmaj.7
How did they teach you to be
Just a happy puppet dancing on a string
How do you........manage to speak
Bbmaj.7 F
Your mouth....a frozen grin?
BREAK-
Bb F
A dullard strung on the wire
F Bb
When the master's gone, you hang there
Bb F
With your eyes and your limbs so lifeless
CHORUS-
C Dm
Tell me something if the world is so insane
Am7 F
Is it making you sane again to...
C Dm
Let another man tug at the thread
Am7 F
That pulls up your nodding head?
FINISH WITH-
C Dm
Your hollowed head, your marble eyes
Am7 F
Your wooden hands and your metal jawpins
C Dm
All wait in limbo for the man
Am7 C F
Who knows how to move you this way
