G+G
I sit all day staring at a leaf.
 G+G
I know that my time here is brief.
D MajorD
I'd like to get some details down.
G+G
Before I move on to another town.

G+G
I met a man he lost both arms.
G+G
He got 'em caught up in her charms.
D MajorD
She took the kids and the color TV.
G+G
He said, "I wish she'd taken the rest of me."

(CHORUS)
G+G
This travelin' life well it ain't no good.
G+G
I'd quit it honey oh if I could.
D MajorD
A augmentedA puzzle to me why I even care.
G+G
The missing pieces are everywhere.

G+G
He drove to Dixie to hush his mouth.
G+G
She started talking like to wore him out.
D MajorD
They found love beneath the southern stars.
G+G
And some bruises and some scars.

G+G
He sees her on that back porch swing.
G+G
And I believe he would do any-thing.
D MajorD
Stand all night in the pourin' rain.
G+G
To wash her memory from her brain.

REPEAT CHORUS

G+G
A augmentedA false move here, a stumble there.
G+G
A augmentedA box of letters and a lock of hair.
D MajorD
That's all that's left when I turn out the light.
G+G
I count the missing pieces every night.

CHORUS 2x
