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

G  
I met a man he lost both arms.  
G
He got 'em caught up in her charms.
D                                     
She took the kids and the color TV.  
G
He said, "I wish she'd taken the rest of me."
(CHORUS)
G  
This travelin' life well it ain't no good.  
G
I'd quit it honey oh if I could.
D
A puzzle to me why I even care.  
G
The missing pieces are everywhere.

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS

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

CHORUS 2x

     G        
E|---3----3----3-----| 
B|---3----3----3-----| 
G|---0----0----0-----| 
D|---2----0----0-----| 
A|---3----2----2-----| 
E|---0----0----3-----|
