Graham Parker - Too Many Knots To Untangle Lyrics
Pre>intro d bm (4 times)D g aI dont understand telepathy, but I am thinking of youD g aI am going to get my feelings across the gulf that divides me and youD d/c# d/c d/b (bass run)Cos when the doors get locked and the windows are shutteredD d/c# d/c d/bThe oaths get broken and the curses are mutteredD d/c# d/c d/bAnd every emotions confused and clutteredA bm gTheres nothing to stop us from burning out, just like a candle,DWith too many knots to untangleI know theres a better world somewhere youve just got to take a lookYeah but unfortunately its in the pages of a kids storybookDoes your daddy look down on us and say this is wrongWill your mother figure me out from the words in this songDid you prefer the guy who was hung like king kongWell I just wanna feel your curves again when theyre not at right anglesWith too many knots to untangleG bmThe rusted remains of an automobileG bmSits out in the backyard with only one wheelBm aIgnored and deserted you know how it feelsYeah its a random universe, there is no plan involvedWe just bounce around like rubber balls and sometimes nothing gets solvedDo you know these people the chances are slimEven their shadows are wearing thin and youre not her and Im not himBut I dont wanna tie you up any more and leave you to dangle,With too many knots to untangle (3 times) then intro againToo many knots to untangle (repeat over intro chords with backing vocals and oohs) /pre>
