INTRO:   G                                C
       I thought my heart would mend, and babe, you know I've tried
               G                            D               G
       But the picture on the cover doesn't match the one inside
       G  C  G  D  G

                           C
I'm picking up the pieces, trying to fit the holes
        G                  D
In this picture puzzle you left me long ago
    G             C
The hardest puzzle that I can see
       G              D                             G
Just a pile of little pieces that makes no sense to me  


CHORUS 1:
       D                    G
'Cause we were together and now we're apart  
        A7                          D
And I'm picking up the pieces of my heart
  G                                C
I thought my heart would mend, and babe, you know I've tried
        G                            D               G
But the picture on the cover doesn't match the one inside


INSTRUMENTAL: G  C  G  D  G  C  G  D  G


                            C
I'm holding the pieces, not knowing where to start  
          G                  D
With this jigsaw puzzle that you made of my heart  
  G                            C
A pretty picture puzzle should fit so easily  
        G                                D               G
But the picture that you left me doesn't match the one I see  


CHORUS 2:
       D                    G
'Cause we were together and now we're apart  
        A7                          D
And I'm picking up the pieces of my heart
    G                             C
The puzzle looked so easy 'til we tried to play the game  
         G                            D                 G
Then the pieces fit together, but the picture's not the same


INSTRUMENTAL: D  G  A7  D  G  C  G  D  G


                           C
I'm picking up the pieces, trying to fit the holes
        G                  D
In this picture puzzle you left me long ago
    G             C
The hardest puzzle that I can see
       G                          D                 G
Just a pile of little pieces that makes no sense to me

And I'm picking up the pieces of my heart

I thought my heart would mend, and babe, you know I've tried
        G                            D               G
But the picture on the cover doesn't match the one inside
