[Intro]
C
[Verse]
Am F C
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
Begged you to want me
F
But you didn't want to
[Chorus]
C
But piece by piece he collected me
G
Up off the ground where you abandon things
Am F
And piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me
At six years old and you know
C
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
That a man can be kind
C
And a father could stay
[Verse]
Am F C
And all of your words fall flat
Am F C
I made something of myself and now you wanna come back
G Am
But your love it isn't free
F
It has to be earned
G Am
Back then I didn't have anything you needed
F
So I was worthless
[Chorus]
C
But piece by piece he collected me
G
Up off the ground where you abandon things
Am F
And piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me
At six years old and you know
C
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
That a man can be kind
And a father could stay
[Bridge]
C
Piece by piece
G
Piece by piece
Am
Piece by piece
F
Piece by piece
C G
Piece by piece
Am F
Piece by piece
[Chorus]
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 and you know
C
He'll never walk away
He'll never break her heart
G
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
[Outro]
C
Piece by piece
G
Piece by piece
Am F
Piece by piece
