INTRO: G C
I thought my heart would mend, and babe, you know I've tried
But the [G]picture on the cover doesn't [D]match the one in[G]side
[G] [C] [G] [D] [G]
I'm picking up the pieces, [C]trying to fit the holes
In this [G]picture puzzle you [D]left me long ago
The [G]hardest puzzle[C] that I can see
Just a [G]pile of little [D]pieces that makes no sense to [G]me
CHORUS 1:
'Cause [D]we were together and [G]now we're apart
And I'm [A7]picking up the pieces of my [D]heart
I [G]thought my heart would mend, and [C]babe, you know I've tried
But the [G]picture on the cover doesn't [D]match the one in[G]side
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G D G C G D G
I'm holding the pieces, not [C]knowing where to start
With this [G]jigsaw puzzle that [D]you made of my heart
A [G]pretty picture puzzle should [C]fit so easily
But the [G]picture that you left me doesn't [D]match the one I [G]see
CHORUS 2:
'Cause [D]we were together and [G]now we're apart
And I'm [A7]picking up the pieces of my [D]heart
The [G]puzzle looked so easy 'til we [C]tried to play the game
Then the [G]pieces fit together, but the [D]picture's not the [G]same
