Fingerpicking pattern throughout the song:
e|-----x-------x---|
B|-----x-------x---|
G|---x---x---x---x-|
D|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
E|-x-------x-------|
where E is the bass note of the chord you're playing.
Especially the second line of the bridge benefits from using variations on
the center strings D G B instead of G B e.
Intro
[Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bb7] [Bm7b5] [Edim7]
Verse 1
[Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bm7b5]
First of all must go, Your scent upon my pillow,
[Gm] [A7] [Dm] [Bb7]
and then I say goodbye, to your whispers in my dreams.
[Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bm7b5]
And then our lips will part, in my mind and in my heart,
[Gm] [A7] [Dm]
'cos your kiss, went deeper than my skin.
Chorus
[Gm] [A7] [Dm] [C] [Bb] [F]
Piece by piece, is how I'll let go of you,
[Bbmaj7] [A7]
kiss by kiss, will leave my
[Dm7] [Bm7b5] [Edim7] [A7]
mind, one at a time, one at a time.
Verse 2
[Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bm7b5]
First of all must fly, my dreams of you and I,
[Gm] [A7] [Dm] [Bb7]
There's no point, in holding on to those.
[Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bm7b5]
And then our ties will break, for your and my own sake,
[Gm] [A7] [Dm]
just remember, this is what you chose.
Chorus
[Gm] [A7] [Dm] [C] [Bb] [F]
Piece by piece, is how I'll let go of you,
[Bbmaj7] [A7]
kiss by kiss, will leave my
[Dm7] [Bm7b5] [Edim7] [A7]
mind, one at a time, one at a time.
Bridge
[F] [C] [G] [Am]
I'll shed, like skin, our memories of lazy days,
[Ab] [G] [C] [Bb7] [C] [Bb7]
and fade away the shadow of your face,
[Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bb7]
Oooooooo.....
[Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bb7]
Oooooooo.....
Chorus
[Gm] [A7] [Dm] [C] [Bb] [F]
Piece by piece, is how I'll let go of you,
[Bbmaj7] [A7]
kiss by kiss, will leave my
[Dm7] [Bm7b5] [Edim7] [A7]
mind, one at a time, one at a time, one at a time, one at a
[Dm] [Bb7] [Dm] [Bb7] [Dm]
time.
