Picking Up The Pieces Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

A♯ C

Verse

FI really need to talk with Cyou

 I keep Dmstepping on the vein

 That keeps my A♯lifeline flowing through.

FI wanna be your perfect stick of Cglue

 But I don't feel Dmperfect at all,

A Sad and insecure flaw

FI find it hard to hold conversCation

 I get swDmeaty, sick, and I wanna walk aA♯way

 It's not Fyou, this is strictly me in this situaCtion

 I'm wondering will it eDmver go away? Just go away...

Pre-chorus

A♯Sometimes I feel like weeping

AAwake and when I'm sleeping

G♯mPerfecting how to put a Fgame face on

A♯This puzzle I've been keeping

AHas been in hiding creeping

G♯mOut the closet door, spilling Aout onto the floor;

Chorus

 How FloCngDm will I be A♯picking up the FpiecCes? Dm A♯

 How FloCngDm will I be A♯picking up my heart? C

Verse

FI'll be as honest as I fCeel

 I'm getting more pDmaranoid, and I'm hearing things

 And they nA♯ever turn out real. F

 It feels like my heart is made of pCure steel,

 It's just so hDmeavy all the time.

(little interlude here, obviously)

FYea I'm scared of death, I'm scared of liviCng

 I gDmave up on the past 'cause it was unA♯forgiving

FI misplaced my trust,

 Watched my wCords begin to rust,

 I'm a bDmalloon about to bust

 I need a plA♯ace for reliving still -

<pre-chorus>

Chorus 2

 HoFw long in aCnother place in tiDmme,

  A♯Picking up the piecFes in the cornerC of my mind? Dm A♯

 HoFw long, livCing oh so hard to Dmfind,

  A♯Picking up the piecFes in the cornerC of my mind? Dm A♯

Ends with "Whoa's" and "I still walk on / I wake up every morning," using the same

chords and timing from the chorus. Enjoy, rate and comment if there are problems.
