Too Many Knots To Untangle Lyrics - Graham Parker

Pre>intro d bm (4 times) 

D g a 

I don't 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 emotion's confused and cluttered 

A bm g 

There's nothing to stop us from burning out, just like a candle, 

D 

With too many knots to untangle

I know there's a better world somewhere you've just got to take a look 

Yeah but unfortunately it's in the pages of a kid's 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 they're 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 

Photos 

Yeah it's 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 you're not her and I'm not him 

But I don't 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>
