Capo 1 

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

 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 
                               
 And a father should be great
