G C9 G
I sit all day staring at a leaf.
Em C G
I know that my time here is brief.
Am C/B D
I'd like to get some details down.
C G
Before I move on to another town.
G C9 G
I met a man he lost both arms.
Em C G
He got 'em caught up in her charms.
Am C/B D
She took the kids and the color TV.
C G
He said, "I wish she'd taken the rest of me."
(CHORUS)
G C9 G
This travelin' life well it ain't no good.
Em C G
I'd quit it honey oh if I could.
Am C/B D
A puzzle to me why I even care.
C G
The missing pieces are everywhere.
G C9 G
He drove to Dixie to hush his mouth.
Em C G
She started talking like to wore him out.
Am C/B D
They found love beneath the southern stars.
C G
And some bruises and some scars.
G C9 G
He sees her on that back porch swing.
Em C G
And I believe he would do any-thing.
Am C/B D
Stand all night in the pourin' rain.
C G
To wash her memory from her brain.
REPEAT CHORUS
G C9 G
A false move here, a stumble there.
Em C G
A box of letters and a lock of hair.
Am C/B D
That's all that's left when I turn out the light.
C G
I count the missing pieces every night.
CHORUS 2x
C9 C/B G
