recliner pull cord?

The parachute pull cord is between the arm and seat cushion of the recliner. I was pulling the handle to recline the chair and it just came loose, it never came a part but when i turn the chair upside down the cord is still attached at the bottom but i can't figure out where the slack in the cord goes. It seems to have detached away from something, but it's a lot of springs and levers there, i don't know where to put the wire.
