[INTRO]

Bbmaj7  Fmaj7  x2


[VERSE 1]

Bbmaj7             Fmaj7
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
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 2]

Bbmaj7             Fmaj7
How did they teach you to be
Just a happy puppet dancing on a string
How do you.........manage to live inside
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
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?


[VERSE 3]

Bbmaj7             Fmaj7
How did they teach you to be
Just a happy puppet dancing on a string
How do you........manage to speak
Bbmaj7                  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
