These are the words and chords to the Tubes song "Piece by Piece" off of the
Love Bomb album.  I've made sure that the chord changes happen exactly where
they occur, as opposed to being lazy and loading them 2 to a line as I've
seen it done.  The tempo is moderate.

INTRO:
Cadd9    D      Cadd9    D    Cadd9   D  Cadd9    D

               Cadd9
She looks good..
              D                       Cadd9
but she's not all together right
               D                                    Cadd9
all the parts are not screwed on tight
                 D                  Em
there's a touch of tragedy
                Cadd9
When she moves
           D                                   Cadd9
I can see the secret showing through
             D                                Cadd9
she'd deny it if she thought I knew,
               D                               Em
but she could never hide from me.

D                                            Cadd9
Anyone would think there's nothing wrong
       Am               D
she looks so satisfied
                                     Cadd9
but I've know about it much too long
      Am                  Bm                   C
she can't  conceal what she feels inside

I'm gonna show her that
  Am
piece by piece, inch by inch...
 D                               Bm        C
I can put her back together again..
Am
I'll supply the love she lacks
 D
and give her back
C                             D
exactly what she needs
Bm                C     D      E
bringing it piece by piece.

            Cadd9
all I need
            D                               Cadd9
to find a way around her depends
       D                              Cadd9
is just a little common sense
            D                Em
I don't have a strategy
           Cadd9
I'll be there..
           D                              Cadd9
like I have so many other times
             D                            Cadd9
she'll reveal to me a certain side
          D                    Em
that all that I can see

D                                           Cadd9
anyone would think there's nothing wrong
       Am                          D
she seems like she's complete
                                Cadd9
but it's obvious its been too long
          Am              Bm                         C
since she believed what she needs is me...

CHORUS:
I'm gonna show her that
Am
piece by piece, inch by inch
D                            Bm           C
I can put her back together again..
Am
I'll supply the love she lacks
 D
and give her back
C                           D
exactly what she needs
Bm                C     D      E
bringing it piece by piece.

(Bridge/solo here)

D                                          Cadd9
anyone would that there's nothing wrong
        Am                      D
but she's not fooling me
                                 Cadd9
everybody wants to lead her on
         Am        Bm                     C        D
but I believe what she needs is me
                            E
what she needs is me

CHORUS:
(N/C)
I'm gonna show her that
    Am
**piece by piece, inch by inch
D                             Bm           C
I can put her back together again..
Am
I'll supply the love she lacks
 D
and give her back
C                           D
exactly what she needs
Bm                C     D
bringing it piece by   **(REPEAT CHORUS HERE)

repeat and fade
