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
