Key: G

Intro:

Em Am Em Am

Verse 1:
Em             Am       D               G
I lose my temper I don’t know where it goes
Em              Am         D              Em
I lose my mind when you’re stepping on my toes
        C               D       G     D        C
When I step back and watch you try to take control
    C               D        G     D      C
I feel your puppet strings tugging on my soul

Verse 2:
Em         Am   D               G
I keep my cool when you won’t let go
Em     Am            D         Em
In your embrace I’m your Pinocchio
            C           D            G   D      C
‘Cause I’m wrapped up in your arms, fully letting go
            C           D            G   D      C
Your puppet strings are dangling in the wind around my soul

Bridge:
Em               D      G
Oh why do you feel the need
                Em       D          G
To make me into what you want me to be
                    Em     D            G
Just take a look at me and see what you see
                        Em    Am        D
Don’t try to tie your puppet strings to me

Verse 3:
Em           Am     D               G
I lose my patience when you just assume
G    Em          Am     D          Em
You know what I can and should not do
        C           D     G    D     C
So I start scoping out my exit strategy
  C         D        G    D   C
From your imaginary superiority
        C           D        G    D       C
Your puppet strings are now far away from me

Verse 4:
Em              Am              D                 G
I still lose my temper and I don’t know where it goes
Em                   Am                  D                        G
But I don’t lose my mind anymore when you try and step on my toes, no
Em              Am              D                Em
I don’t lose my mind anymore as my awareness grows

Outro:
Em  Am  D  Em
