Marillion are a rock band formed in Aylesbury, England . Their 30-year career is marked by two distinctive phases; the early years fronted by Fish which saw their greatest commercial success, and much longer period fronted by Steve Hogarth in which the band have constantly re-invented themselves so as to continue to be relevant into the 21st century.
The Fish era is often categorized as neo-progressive. They originally started as "Silmarillion"

Hi there!
These are, I believe, the chords to "Jigsaw" by Marillion:
We are [F#] jigsaw pieces, aligned on the perimeter edge, [B] Interlocked through a missing [F#] piece. We are re[F#]naissance children, becalmed beneath the bridge of sighs, For[B]ever throwing firebrands at the [F#] stondework. We are [Abm] siamese children [E] related by the [F#] heart. [Abm] Bleeding from the [E] surgery of i[F#]nitial confrontation. [Abm] Holding the word [E] scalpels in trembling [F#] lips.
Stand [Abm] straight, [E] look me in the eye and [B] say good[F#]bye. Stand [Abm] straight, we've [E] drifted past the point of [B] reasons [F#] why. [Abm] Yesterday start to[E]morrow, tomorrow [B] starts to[F#]day. And the [Abm] problem always seems to be we're [E] picking up the pieces on the [B] rico[F#]chet [C#sus4]. [Abm] This is the [F#] ricochet.
2nd verse: same chords
2nd chorus: same chords until:
... picking up the pieces on the [B] rico[F#]chet. [Dm] [F] This is the [C] rico[Bb]chet.
Are we [Dm] trigger happy? [F] Russian roulette in the [C] waiting room [Bb]. [Dm] Empty chambers [F] embracing the [C] end [Bb]. [Dm] Puzzled visions [F] haunt the ripples of a [C] trevi [Bb] moon. [Dm] Dream coins for the fountain [F] or te cover your [C] eyes [Bb].
We [Am] reached ignition point [F] from the sparks of [G] pleasantries. We [Am] sensed the smoke ad[F]vancing from ho[G]rizons. You[Am] must have known that [F] I was considering an e[G]scape.
Stand [C#m] straight, [A] look me in the eye and [E] say good[B]bye. Stand [C#m] straight, We've [A] drifted past the point of [E] reasons [B] why. [C#m] Yesterday starts to[A]morrow, tomorrow [E] starts to[B]day. And the [C#m] problem always seems to be we're [A] picking up the pieces on the [E] rico[B]chet.
[Bm] [G] This is the [A] ricochet.... I'll be [Bm] seeing you again [G] on the [A] ricochet....
