Missing Pieces by John Hiatt from Beneath This Gruff Exterior Submitted by Bendave [email protected] Reworked from version submitted by Unregistered G C9 G I sit all day staring at a leaf. Em C G I know that my time here is brief. Am C/B D I'd like to get some details down. C G Before I move on to another town. G C9 G I met a man he lost both arms. Em C G He got 'em caught up in her charms. Am C/B D She took the kids and the color TV. C G He said, "I wish she'd taken the rest of me." (CHORUS) G C9 G This travelin' life well it ain't no good. Em C G I'd quit it honey oh if I could. Am C/B D A puzzle to me why I even care. C G The missing pieces are everywhere. G C9 G He drove to Dixie to hush his mouth. Em C G She started talking like to wore him out. Am C/B D They found love beneath the southern stars. C G And some bruises and some scars. G C9 G He sees her on that back porch swing. Em C G And I believe he would do any-thing. Am C/B D Stand all night in the pourin' rain. C G To wash her memory from her brain. REPEAT CHORUS G C9 G A false move here, a stumble there. Em C G A box of letters and a lock of hair. Am C/B D That's all that's left when I turn out the light. C G I count the missing pieces every night.
