Missing Pieces Chords

   
From the album: Beneath This Gruff Exterior

 
G                                     
I sit all day staring at a leaf.  

Em
I know that my time here is brief.
        
Am                                   
I'd like to get some details down.  

C
Before I move on to another town.

G                               
I met a man he lost both arms.  

Em
He got 'em cought up in her charms.

Am                                              
She took the kids and the color TV.  

         C
He said "I wish she'd taken the rest of me." 


(CHORUS)

G                                          
This travelin' life well it aint no good.  

Em
I'd quit it honey oh if I could.

Am                               
A puzzle to me why I even care.  

C
The missing pieces are everywhere.

G/Em

G                                      
He drove to dixie to hush his mouth.  

Em
She started talkin' like to wore him out.

Am                                          
They found love beneath the southern stars.  

C
And some bruises and some scars.

G                                      
He sees her on that back porch swing.  

Em
And I believe he would do anything.

Am                                    
Stand all night in the pourin' rain.  

C
To wash her memory from her brain.


REPEAT CHORUS

G                                    
A false move here, a stumble there.  

Em
A box of letters and a lock of hair.

Am                                                
That's all that's left when I turn out the light.  

C
I count the missing pieces every night.


CHORUS 2x
