The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore by James Morrison
The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore
Simple enough to play, the whole thing is in the key of C# and i've tabbed it for
tuning, no capos. I've tried to place the chord name in time with the lyrics. Hope it's
if not, let me know! :)
NB. The verse and intro are not strummed but picked, and only the first 4 notes of each
ALL BAR CHORDS regardless of the chord diagrams UG shows!!
Have a go, listen to the record and you'll see what i mean.
C# x46664
A#m x13321
F# 244322
F 133211
D#m x68876
G# 466544
Adim 567575 - but only need to play 567555 as only lowest 4 notes played
A#m (2) 688666
Intro - C# x2
C# C# C#
I've been twisting and turning,
A#m A#m
In a space that's too small.
C# C# A#m A#m
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall,
F# F# C# C#
You've been closing me in, closing the space in my heart.
F# A#m C#
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart.
[Chorus]
F# A#m C#
C#
Well I can't explain why it's not enough, Cause I gave it all to you.
F# A#m
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now.
C# C#
Its the better thing to do,
F#
Its time to surrender,
A#m
Its been to long pretending.
F#
Theres no use in trying,
C# F# A#m C#
When the pieces dont fit anymore, Pieces dont fit here anymore.
[Verse 2]
C# C#
You pulled me under,
A#m A#m
I had to give in.
C# C#
Such a beautiful myth,
A#m A#m
Thats breaking my skin.
F#
Well i'll hide all the bruises,
F# C# C#
I'll hide all the damage thats done.
A#m F# C#
C#
But I show how Im feeling until all the feeling has gone.
(Chorus)
G# Adim
Ooh don't missunderstand,

I've been twisting and turning
In a space that's too small
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall
You've been closing me in, closing the space in my heart
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart
Well I can't explain why it's not enough, 'cause I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now
It's the better thing to do
It's time to surrender, it's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying, when the pieces don't fit anymore
The pieces don't fit here anymore
You pulled me under
I had to give in
Such a beautiful myth
That's breaking my skin
Well I'll hide all the bruises
I'll hide all the damage that's done
But I'll show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone
Well I can't explain why it's not enough, 'cause I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now
It's the better thing to do
It's time to surrender, it's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying, when the pieces don't fit anymore
The pieces don't fit here anymore
Oh don't misunderstand
How I feel
'Cause I've tried, yes I've tried
But still I don't know why, no I don't know why
I don't know why... why
Well I can't explain why it's not enough, I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now, just leave me now
It's the better thing to do
Well it's time to surrender, it's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying, when the pieces don't fit anymore
The pieces don't fit here anymore
The pieces don't fit anymore

Now for the chorus, I highly suggest a subtle strumming pattern of the following:
Chorus:
F Dm Am Cmaj7
Well I can’t explain why it’s not enough, cause I gave it all to you
F Dm Am Cmaj7
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now, it’s the better thing to do
F Dm Am
Its time to surrender, its been too long pretending, theres no use in trying
Cmaj7 F Dm C
When the pieces don’t fit anymore, pieces don’t fit here anymore
And the Bridge is as follows:
Bridge:
G E Am
Oh don’t misunderstand how I feel
D
Cause I’ve tried, yes I’ve tried
F E
But still I don’t know why, no I don’t know why…
I don’t know why…why…
I've been twisting and turning
In a space that's too small
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall
You've been closing me in, closing the space in my heart
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart
Well I can't explain why it's not enough, 'cause I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now
It's the better thing to do
It's time to surrender, it's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying, when the pieces don't fit anymore
The pieces don't fit here anymore
