Too Many Knots To Untangle - Graham Parker

Pre>intro d bm (4 times)

D g a

I dont understand telepathy, but I am thinking of you

D g a

I am going to get my feelings across the gulf that divides me and you

D d/c# d/c d/b (bass run)

Cos when the doors get locked and the windows are shuttered

D d/c# d/c d/b

The oaths get broken and the curses are muttered

D d/c# d/c d/b

And every emotions confused and cluttered

A bm g

Theres nothing to stop us from burning out, just like a candle,

D

With too many knots to untangle

I know theres a better world somewhere youve just got to take a look

Yeah but unfortunately its in the pages of a kids storybook

Does your daddy look down on us and say this is wrong

Will your mother figure me out from the words in this song

Did you prefer the guy who was hung like king kong

Well I just wanna feel your curves again when theyre not at right angles

With too many knots to untangle

G bm

The rusted remains of an automobile

G bm

Sits out in the backyard with only one wheel

Bm a

Ignored and deserted you know how it feels

Yeah its a random universe, there is no plan involved

We just bounce around like rubber balls and sometimes nothing gets solved

Do you know these people the chances are slim

Even their shadows are wearing thin and youre not her and Im not him

But I dont wanna tie you up any more and leave you to dangle,

With too many knots to untangle (3 times) then intro again

Too many knots to untangle (repeat over intro chords with backing vocals and oohs) /pre>
