Piece by piece (video)

C ~ ~

Am F C

1. And all I remember is your back,

Am F C

walking towards the airport, leaving us all in your past.

G Am - F

I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you,

G Am F

begged you to want me, but you didn’t want to.

C

But piece by piece he collected me

G

up off the ground where you abandon things,

Am

and piece by piece he filled the holes

F G

that you burned in me at six years old.

- C

And you know, he never walks away, he never asks for money,

G

he takes care of me, he loves me.

Am

Piece by piece he restored my faith

F C

that a man can be kind and a father could stay.

Am F C

2. And all of your words fall flat,

Am F - C

I made something of myself, and now you wanna come back.

G Am F

But your love, it isn’t free, it has to be earned,

G Am - F

back then I didn’t have anything you needed, so I was worthless.

+ CHORUS

C - G

+ Piece by piece, piece by piece,

Am - F

piece by piece, piece by piece.

C G - Am - F

Piece by piece, piece by piece.

C

+ Piece by piece I fell far from the tree,

G

I would never leave her like you left me and

Am

she will never have to wonder her worth

F

because unlike you I’m gonna put her first.

- C

And you know, he’ll never walk away,

G

he’ll never break her heart, he’ll take care of things, he’ll love her.

Am

Piece by piece he'll restore my faith

F

that a man can be kind and a father should be great.

C - G

+ Piece by piece, piece by piece,

Am - F - C

piece by piece.
