Gm 
A water glass full of whiskey 
Cm                Dm            Gm 
And women that I never knew too well 
Gm           
Lord, the things I've seen and done 
Cm                Dm            Gm 
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell 


Gm 
I don't know how it started 
Cm                Dm            Gm 
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess 
Gm   
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing' 
Cm      Dm          Gm 
Tryin' to forget the rest 


Dm                      Gm 
I'm lookin' back on my life 
Dm                         Gm 
To see if I can find the pieces 
Dm                  
I know that some were stolen 
         Gm   Bm      C  
And some just blew away 


Dm 
Well, I've found the bad parts 
Gm            Cm 
Found all the sad parts 
       Gm           Dm               Em     
But I guess I threw the best parts away 
     Em      C         Dm        
Lord awaaaaaaay, lord away 


Gm 
Playing the bars, playing like a star 
Cm        Dm            Gm 
Anything to get a name 
Gm 
Carryin' on, living on songs 
Cm          Dm            Gm 
My friends wrote to me to sing 


Dm                      Gm 
I'm lookin' back on my life 
Dm                         Gm 
To see if I can find the pieces 
Dm                  
I know that some were stolen 
  Gm     Bm        C  
And some just blew away 


Dm 
Well, I've found the bad parts 
Gm            Cm 
Found all the sad parts 
      Gm           Dm               Em     
But I guess I threw the best parts away 
            Cm 
Lord away, away 


Cm                    C      Dm            Gm 
Lord the pieces of my life, everywhere, everywhere 
Em            Cm                Dm 
And the one I miss most of all is you 
              Gm 
and you know who 
Em                  Cm      
Looking back on  my life lord 
   Dm                    Gm 
To see if I can find the pieces 


Dm                      Gm 
Looking back on my life today 
Dm                      Gm 
To see if I can find the pieces 
Dm  
Looking back on my life  
Gm   Bm      C  
God help me find the pieces
