View chords used in this chart
verse 1
C G
Like the seeds of the weeds in an Autumn wind
Em C F C
We met out in midair
G
And fell together in a patch of ground
Em C F C
And grew to be a pair
 
verse 2
Am D7 G
But not a pair in the usual sense
Dm
As you were much too tall
G C G
With curly hair, while mine was straight
C G C F C
And I was much to small
 
[Refrão]
B7 F C
We were like interlocking pieces
E Am G C
In the Jigsaw Puzzle of Life
 
Instrumental: B7 F C E Am G C F C
 
verse 3
G
Now the puzzle is faded, half the pieces are lost
Em C F C
It’s limp with ten years wear
G
Our edges are ragged and the fit is loose
Em C F C
I guess that we’d best take care
 
verse 4
Am D7 G
Our scene is pastoral, naive like our minds
Dm
And not fun to be in sometimes
G C G
And we want a change from the fields and the skies
C G C F C
And crave some dots or some lines
 
[Refrão]
B7 F C
We were like interlocking pieces
E Am G C
In the Jigsaw Puzzle of Life
 
B7 F C
Ooh, ooh, interlocking pieces
E Am G C
