Verse:
Bbm Gb Db
And all I remember is your back
Bbm Gb Db
Walking towards the airport leaving us all in your past
Ab Bbm Gb
I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you
Ab Bbm
Begged you to want me
Gb
But you didn’t want to
Chorus:
Db
But piece by piece he collected me
Ab
Up off the ground where you abandon things
Bbm Gb
And piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me
At six years old and you know
Db
He never walks away
He never asks for money
Ab
He takes care of me
He loves me
Bbm
Piece by piece
He restored my faith
Gb
That a man can be kind
Db
And a father could stay
Verse:
Bbm Gb Db
And all of your words fall flat
Bbm Gb Db
I made something of myself and now you wanna come back
Ab Bbm
But your love it isn’t free
Gb
It has to be earned
Ab Bbm
Back then I didn’t have anything you needed
Gb
So I was worthless
Chorus:
Db
But piece by piece he collected me
Ab
Up off the ground where you abandon things
Bbm Gb
And piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me
At six years old and you know
Db
He never walks away
He never asks for money
Ab
He takes care of me
He loves me
Bbm
Piece by piece
He restored my faith
Gb
That a man can be kind
And a father could stay

Chorus:
Db
Piece by piece I fell far from the tree
Ab
I would never leave her like you left me and
Bbm
She will never have to wonder her worth

Because unlike you I’m gonna put her first and you know
Db
He’ll never walk away
He’ll never break her heart
Ab
He’ll take care of things
He’ll love her

Piece by piece
He'll restore my faith

That a man can be kind
And a father should be great
