SOL
I sit all day staring at a leaf.
MIm
I know that my time here is brief.
LAm
I'd like to get some details down.
DO
Before I move on to another town.
SOL
I met a man he lost both arms.
MIm
He got 'em cought up in her charms.
LAm
She took the kids and the color TV.
DO
He said "I wish she'd taken the rest of me."
(CHORUS)
SOL
This travelin' life well it aint no good.
MIm
I'd quit it honey oh if I could.
LAm
A puzzle to me why I even care.
DO
The missing pieces are everywhere.
SOL/MIm
SOL
He drove to dixie to hush his mouth.
MIm
She started talkin' like to wore him out.
LAm
They found love beneath the southern stars.
DO
And some bruises and some scars.
SOL
He sees her on that back porch swing.
MIm
And I believe he would do anything.
LAm
Stand all night in the pourin' rain.
DO
To wash her memory from her brain.
REPEAT CHORUS
SOL
A false move here, a stumble there.
MIm
A box of letters and a lock of hair.
LAm
That's all that's left when I turn out the light.
DO
I count the missing pieces every night.
CHORUS 2x
