[Verse]
Am G
And all I remember is your back
Am G
Walking towards the airport leaving us all in your past
D Am G
I traveled 1500 miles to see you
Am
Begged you to want me
Am F
But you didn't want to
[Chorus]
C G
But piece by piece you collected me
Am D
Up off the ground but you abandoned things
C G
And piece by piece you filled the holes that you burned in me
F
At six years old and no
C
He never walks away
C
He never asks for money
G
He takes care of me
G
He loves me
C
Piece by piece
C
He restored my faith
G
That a man can be kind
D C
And a father could stay
[Verse]
Am G
And all of your words fall flat
Am G
I made something of myself and now you wanna come back
D Am
But your love isn't free
G
It has to be earned
Am G C
Back then I didn't have anything you needed
D
So I was worthless
[Chorus]
C G
But piece by piece you collected me
Am D
Up off the ground but you abandoned things
C G
And piece by piece you filled the holes that you burned in me
F
At six years old and no
C
He never walks away
C
He never asks for money
G
He takes care of me
G
He loves me
C
Piece by piece
C
He restored my faith
G
That a man can be kind
D C
And a father could stay
Am G
Piece by piece...
C Am G
Piece by piece I fell far from the tree
D C
I would never leave her like you left me
G F
She will never have to wonder her worth
Am G
Because unlike you I'm gonna put her first
C
He'll never walk away
C G
He'll never break her heart
Am
He'll take care of things
G
He'll love her
C
Piece by piece
C
He restored my faith
G
That a man can be kind
D C
And a father should be great
C G
Piece by piece...
