Intro: [drum beat]
Verse 1:
() (I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) Since you left me and you said goodbye (I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) All I do is sit and cry (I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) You went away and left me misery (I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) F [N.C.] And that's the way it'll always be
[drum fill]
Verse 2:
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) You said you'd love me and you'd always be mine (I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) We'd be together 'til the end of time (I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) Now you say it was just a game (I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) But all you're doin' is leavin' me pain
[drum fill]

Time goes by, it goes so slow (oh, yeah)
Since you said we'd be through
Only just a few days ago C7 [N.C.] You said you'd love me, never make me blue
[drum fill]
Verse 3:
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) Now you're gone and I'm all alone (I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) And you're still way up there on your throne (I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) Nothin' seems to ever go right (I'm in pieces, bits and pieces) As night is day and day is night
