Lyrics

[Intro]
              Bbm7
Piece by piece
Gbmaj7              Db
      Piece by piece

[Verse 1]
Bbm7               Gbmaj7          Db
    And all I remember is your back
Bbm7
Walking towards the airport,
Gbmaj7                Db
leaving us all in your  past

[Pre-Chorus]
           Ab                   Bbm7
I traveled fifteen hundred miles    to see you
Gbmaj7 Ab                  Bbm7
         Begged you to want    me,
                   Gbmaj7
but you didn't want      to

[Chorus]
    Db
But piece by piece he collected me
   Ab
Up off the ground where you abandoned things,
yeah
Bbm7
Piece by piece he filled the holes
         Gbmaj7
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
Bbm7
Piece by piece he restored my faith
       Gbmaj7
That a man   can be kind and a father could...
Bbm7
    stay

[Interlude]
Gbmaj7              Db
      Piece by piece

[Verse 2]
Bbm7                     Gbmaj7         Db
    And all of your words      fall flat
       Bbm7                       Gbmaj7
I made something of myself and now      you wanna come back

[Pre-Chorus]
Db    Ab
  But your love— it isn't free,
Bbm7                   Gbmaj7
    it has to be earned
     Ab                         Bbm7
Back then I didn't have anything    you needed so I
   Gbmaj7
was      worthless

[Chorus]
    Db
But piece by piece he collected me
   Ab
Up off the ground where you abandoned things,
yeah
Bbm7
Piece by piece he filled the holes
         Gbmaj7
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
Cause he loves me
Bbm7
Piece by piece he restored my faith
       Gbmaj7
That a man   can be kind and a father could stay

[Bridge]
Db Ab Bbm7              Gbmaj7
          Piece by piece

[Breakdown]
Db
Piece by piece I fell far from the tree
       Ab
I will never leave her like you left me
    Bbm7
And she will never have to wonder her worth
        Gbmaj7
Because unlike you I'm gonna put her first
And you know,

[Chorus]
Db
  He'll never walk away,
He'll never break her heart
Ab
  He'll take care of things,
He'll love her
    Bbm7
And piece by piece he'll restore my faith
       Gbmaj7
That a man   can be kind and a father should be great

[Outro]
