You like to keep me dangling on a string..
G#                             D#
cause you know without you, my life don't 

mean a thing.

D#             G#
So, I beg you..please don't drag that string 
 D#
around, oh, no.
      A#
Well, what if it should break..oh, tell me, 
D#                   D#7
what would I do then?
G#                          D#
Keep that string up off the ground, oh, yeah..
            A#                         D#
remember my heart is tied to the other end.

#2.
D#                       F
Yes, I'm your puppet, my heart is in your hand..

one twist on the wrist and I jump to your command.

I feel inside me, as sure as anything..one day 
                              D#
I'll mean more to you, than a puppet on a string.
