Tom: Dm

E|-----x-------x---|

G|---x---x---x---x-|
D|-----------------|

where E is the bass note of the chord you're playing.
Especially the second line of the bridge benefits from using variations on
the center strings D G B instead of G B e.


[Intro]
Dm Bb7 Dm Bb7 Bm7b5 Edim7


[Verse 1]
Dm                Bb7    Dm                 Bm7b5
First of all must go,    Your scent upon my pillow,
Gm                  A7                          Dm           Bb7
 and then I say goodbye,    to your whispers in my dreams.
Dm                      Bb7     Dm                   Bm7b5
 And then our lips will part,    in my mind and in my heart,
     Gm           A7                  Dm
'cos your kiss,    went deeper than my skin.


[Chorus]
Gm       A7           Dm  C        Bb    F
Piece by piece,    is how I'll let go of you,
Bbmaj7  A7
kiss by kiss,    will leave my
Dm7            Bm7b5             Gm7      A7
mind, one at a time,    one at a time.


[Verse 2]
Dm                 Bb7    Dm                  Bm7b5
 First of all must fly,    my dreams of you and I,
         Gm         A7                Dm              Bb7
There's no point,    in holding on to those.
Dm                     Bb7       Dm                  Bm7b5
 And then our ties will break,    for your and my own sake,
      Gm          A7               Dm
just remember,    this is what you chose.


[Chorus]
Gm       A7           Dm  C        Bb    F
Piece by piece,    is how I'll let go of you,
Bbmaj7  A7
kiss by kiss,    will leave my
Dm7            Bm7b5             Gm7      A7
mind, one at a time,    one at a time.


[Bridge]
F          C          G                Am
 I'll shed, like skin, our memories of lazy days,
 Ab              G               C      Bb7      C         Bb7
and fade away the shadow of your face,
Dm        Bb7      Dm        Bb7         Dm        Bb7         Dm        Bb7
Oooooooo.....
Dm        Bb7      Dm        Bb7         Dm        Bb7         Dm        Bb7
Oooooooo.....


[Chorus]
Gm       A7           Dm  C        Bb    F
Piece by piece,    is how I'll let go of you,
Bbmaj7  A7
kiss by kiss,    will leave my
Dm7            Bm7b5             Gm7               A7
mind, one at a time,    one at a time,    one at a time,    one at a
 Dm     Bb7    Dm       Bb7       Dm
time.
