G  A          Bm       A 
 Mozo was a broken man 
      G      A           Bm D 
He was lying on his land 
G      A         Bm      D 
 Every home that he designed 
G            A          Bm A 
 Was sinking in the sand 
Em       F#m    G           A 
  And unity was coating him 
Em          F#m       G 
  About his shattered heart 
Em     F#m         G      A 
  Reminding him of how it was 
   D                A 
So rock-like at the start

G      A      Bm         D 
 Later on, he fell apart 
    G         A           Bm 
Left slithers on the road 
     G         A                 Bm          D 
When strangers asked him, "Where do you come from?" 
   G      A         Bm 
He said, "No fixed abode" 
       Em           F#m    G          A 
And at first, there was no sign of it 
   Em          F#m     G 
It looked like all was fine 
    Em     F#m         G            A 
The clouds came in and swept around him 
          D                 A 
They were bringing like the rain 
 

 
C               Bm    Em 
 I'm putting it all together 
C          Bm           G 
 Though it doesn't make sense 
C           Bm     Em 
 Putting it back together 
D                       C 
 This is my only self-defense 
               Bm     Em 
I'm putting it back together 
C            Bm       Em 
 Filling in, piece by piece 
C           Bm     Em 
 Putting it back together 
D 
 This is my only release 
 

 
G              A        Bm           D 
 They said his soul had slipped away 
G            A           Bm 
 And left an empty shell 
G        A           Bm        D 
 There before, those many eyes 
G              A       Bm 
 His wise that tale to tell 
Em         F#m      G         A 
  Borrowed wine, we made that comb 
     Em        F#m       G 
With no signal came back home 
       Em        F#m       G           A 
By the time, the crowd had noticed him 
          D               A 
There was nowhere else to roam 
 

 
C           Bm     Em 
 Putting it back together 
C          Bm           G 
 Though it doesn't make sense 
C           Bm     Em 
 Putting it back together 
D                       C 
 This is my only self-defense 
           Bm     Em 
Putting it back together 
C            Bm       Em 
 Filling in, piece by piece 
C           Bm     Em 
 Putting it back together 
D 
 This is my only release

  D                      A 
A man maps memory-lapse, nothing left to do 
       Bm                                    G 
Though light had all been shattered, leaving no sign of clue 
        D                                 A 
And the words come out wrong, because I'm pushing them through 
     Bm                       G 
They read alike, sound alike, mean alike too 
        D           A 
But I'm coming back 
             Bm     G 
Getting it together 
          D                  A 
Making me whole (Oh, there's nothing left to do) 
Bm                    G               D       A Bm G 
(Nothing left to feel this love, feel this love) 
        D                         A 
Oh, the faces rush around me, not crave where I'm heading 
Bm                                G 
Oh, but I am the light upon, this loosens the shredding 
D                           A 
 With everything solid, the ones held us winning 
     Bm                        G 
So I grab for anything, giving any sort of feeling 
       D                     A 
Like a jigsaw, that's coming back 
         Bm            G 
Piece by piece, one by one 
       D   A Bm G 
One by one 
          D                A 
Like a jigsaw (Oh, there's nothing left to do) 
Bm                    G 
(Nothing left to feel this love) 
          D    A Bm G 
Feel this love 
                D                            A 
Then I could be standing at the poll, when I ran this {?} 
      Bm                     G 
To be quiet for a moment, to silence the rain 
       D                             A 
Swept away from the center, from the {?} 
      Bm                     G 
I was hot, I was cold, I was small, I was huge 
    D                        A 
But isn't what isn't, wasn't seize to exist 
        Bm                          G 
There's air in the island, that had fallen in the mist 
        D                        A 
And the contract was signed, the darkest will weak 
        Bm                        G 
And the bridges and the {?}, will open up the meek 
            D                     A 
There's the other world that will grow upon my mind 
  Bm                       G 
I could {?} the ocean, the blinds will left behind 
      D                       A 
I was wicked for ignition and fighting for a place 
        Bm                       G 
But whatever the {?} fail, I can make count your face 
   D     A           Bm     G 
Come back, getting together 
   D A 
{?} 
             Bm   G 
Holding your hand

      D                             A 
So we gathered all the wounds, like fish in the net 
Bm                               G 
  Time couldn't hold us, and the jail wouldn't set 
       D                        A 
We were putting it all together, one by one 
Bm              G        D   A 
  Piece by piece, one by one 
          Bm  G 
Like a jigsaw 
          D   A Bm G 
Like a jigsaw 
          D   A Bm G 
Like a jigsaw
