Picking Up The Pieces

Paloma Faith


Tom: G

        G
Do you think of her
              D
When you're with me
             Em
Repeat the memories you made together
       C
Who's face do you see?
        G                     D
Do you wish I was a bit more like her?
           Em
Am I too loud?
             C
I play the clown
         G
To cover up all these doubts.

 G
Perfect heart, she's flawless
D                      Em
She's the other woman, shining in
Her splendour,
C
You were lost…

          G
Now she's gone
         D
And I'm picking up the pieces.
             Em
I watch you cry,

But you don't see
              C
That i'm the one by your side.

              G
'Cause she's gone,
        D
In her shadow is it me you see?
                   Em
'Cause all that's left is you and i
         C
And i'm picking up the pieces
            G
She left behind

           G                    D
I found a photograph behind the tv
             Em                    C
You look so happy, are you missing the way it used be?
      G                                 D
And I have changed this room more often lately
                Em
It's clear that me and these four walls
                C
Still know it's hers and yours

 G
Perfect heart, she's flawless
D                      Em
She's the other woman, shining in
Her splendour,
C
You were lost

          G
Now she's gone
         D
And I'm picking up the pieces.
             Em
I watch you cry,

But you don't see
              C
That i'm the one by your side.

              G
'Cause she's gone,
        D

                   Em
'Cause all that's left is you and i
         C
And i'm picking up the pieces
            G
She left behind

       G          D
Are we liars in denial?
                         Em
Are we smoke without the fire?
                        C
Tell me please, is this worth it
I deserve it

          G
Now she's gone
         D
And I'm picking up the pieces.
             Em
I watch you cry,

But you don't see
              C
That i'm the one by your side.

              G

'Cause all that's left is you and i
         C
And i'm picking up the pieces
            G
She left behind
