[Intro]
| Em     Em/D | D/C C | D    D7 | G |

[Verse 1]
  G
A water glass full of whiskey
C             D     D7       G
 Women that I never knew too well
G
 Lord, the things I've seen and done
C                D    D7        G
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell
  G
I don't know how it started
    C                   D     D7     G
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
        G
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'
C        D             G
  Tryin' to forget the rest


[Chorus]
D                       G
 I'm lookin' back on my life
   D                     G
To see if I can find the pieces
  D
I know that some were stolen
        G     G7/B  C
And some just blew away
D
 Well, I found the bad parts
G              C
 Found all the sad parts
      G                 D         [ Em ]
But I guess I threw the best part away
| Em     Em/D | D/C C | D    D7 |
            All away,  away


[Verse 2]
G
Playing the bars, playing like a star
C    D              G
  Anything to get a name
G
Carryin' on, livin' on songs
C            D               G
  My friends wrote for me to sing


[Chorus]
D                       G
 I'm lookin' back on my life
   D                     G
To see if I can find the pieces
  D
I know that some were stolen
        G     G7/B  C
And some just blew away
D
 Well, I found the bad parts
G              C
 Found all the sad parts
      G                 D         [ Em ]
But I guess I threw the best part away
| Em     Em/D | D/C C | D    D7 | G |
            All away,  away


[Outro]
Em                     |  D/C  C  |
  Lord, the pieces of my life,
        D                   G
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
        Em                   D/C          C
And the one, I think, I miss most of all
   D  D7            G
Is you and you know who
Em                   D/C   C
  Looking back on my life, Lord
D                      G
 See if I can find the pieces
Em                   D/C    C
  Looking back on my life today
D                D7       G
 To see if I can find the pieces
Em                   D/C C
  Looking back on my li- ife
D             D7       G
 God, help me find the pieces
