A#m         F#             C#
And all I remember is your back
 A#m                         F#                C#
Walking towards the airport leaving us all in your
past
            G#              A#m          F#
I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you
G#             A#m
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
     A#m
And piece by piece he filled
                    F#
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
 A#m
Piece by piece
He restored my faith
       F#
That a man can be kind
                    C#
And a father could stay

And all of your words fall flat
I made somethin' of myself
and now you wanna come back
But your love, it isn’t free, it has to be earned
Back then I didn’t have anything you needed,
so I was worthless

Chorus:
But piece by piece, he collected me
Up off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah
Piece by piece, he filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old
And you know
He never walks away, he never asks for money
He takes care of me, 'cause he loves me
Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father could stay

C#
Piece by piece
G#
Piece by piece
A#m
Piece by piece
F#
Piece by piece
C#             G#
Piece by piece
A#m            F#
Piece by piece

Chorus:
Piece by piece, I fell far from the tree
I will never leave her like you left me
And she will never have to wonder her worth
Because unlike you, I’m gonna put her first
And you know
He'll never walk away, he'll never break her heart
He'll take care of things, he'll love her
Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father should be great

Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
