A E7 A A


[Verse 1]
A                     E7             A       A
- The faucet started leakin' in the kitchen
       A                E7                A    A
And today your picture fell down off the wall
     D                  D            A           D
The boss man, he said "Sorry I can't use you anymore"
       A                        E7          A    A
And tonight the light bulb went out in the hall


[Chorus]
  E7                 E7               A        A
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
 A                 A                  E       E
Nothing turns out half-right now it seems
             D             D
There ain't nothing in my pocket
             A             D
'Cept three nickels and a dime
         A              E7           A     A
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
     A          E7                  A      A
Somebody put a baseball through my window
         A              E7                A    A
And the arm fell off my favorite chair again
     D              D
The man, he came today
               E               D
And said he'd haul my things away
      A             E7           A     A
If I didn't make my payments by ten


[Chorus]
  E7                 E7               A        A
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
 A                 A                  E       E
Nothing turns out half-right now it seems
             D             D
There ain't nothing in my pocket
             A             D
'Cept three nickels and a dime
         A              E7           A     A
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream
