GmA water glass full of whiskey
CmDmGm
And women that I never knew too well
Gm
Lord, the things I've seen and done
CmDmGm
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell
Gm
I don't know how it started
CmDmGm
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Gm
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'
CmDmGm
Tryin' to forget the rest
DmGm
I'm lookin' back on my life
DmGm
To see if I can find the pieces
Dm
I know that some were stolen
GmBmC
And some just blew away
Dm
Well, I've found the bad parts
GmCm
Found all the sad parts
GmDmEm
But I guess I threw the best parts away
EmCDm
Lord awaaaaaaay, lord away
Gm
Playing the bars, playing like a star
CmDmGm
Anything to get a name
Gm
Carryin' on, living on songs
CmDmGm
My friends wrote to me to sing
DmGm
I'm lookin' back on my life
DmGm
To see if I can find the pieces
Dm
I know that some were stolen
GmBmC
And some just blew away
Dm
Well, I've found the bad parts
GmCm
Found all the sad parts
GmDmEm
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Cm
Lord away, away
CmCDmGm
Lord the pieces of my life, everywhere, everywhere
EmCmDm
And the one I miss most of all is you
Gm
and you know who
EmCm
Looking back on my life lord
DmGm
To see if I can find the pieces
DmGm
Looking back on my life today
DmGm
To see if I can find the pieces
Dm
Looking back on my life
GmBmC
God help me find the pieces
