Pick Up The Pieces Chords by Johnnie Taylor

[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
Hey _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [G] _ girl, [Dm] we're drifting _ [F] apart _ We [Em] _ _
_ keep [G] breaking _ _ [Dm] each _ _ [F] other's hearts
[Em] _
Tell [G] me how long can [Dm] this go _ [F] on _ [Am] _ _ [Em] For all the [G] good love we [Dm] have is [F] gone
_ [C] Will you help me _
_ [Cm] _ [C] pick _ [Dm] up the [F] pieces?
_ [C] Will you help _ me _ _ _ _ [Dm] pick up [F] the pieces?
_ _ [Bb] And start [F] _ _ [C] all _ over
_ _ And [Bb] _ _ [F] start _ all [C] _ _ over _
_ We [Em] _ _ _ keep acting like [Dm] little children _ [F] _ _
[Am] _ Playing [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ games [Dm] that just ain't fair
[F] _
_ _ [Em] Stepping on, stepping on, stepping [G] on [Dm] each other's _ feelings
[F] _
_ When [Em] deep down inside _
[G] we both [F] know we care _
_ [C] Help me, pick them up _
Help me pick up [Dm] the [F] pieces
I can't do it by myself, [C] baby
Pick them up, baby
Won't you help me [Dm] pick up the _ [F] pieces
And start _ [Bb] all [F] over
_ [C] _ And _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] start _ [F] all _ [C] over
_ _ _ _ _ I [Ab] _ _ _ know _ that we [Eb] can make it
We _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ can go all [Eb] the way
_ _ Breaking _
[Ab] _ _ _ up our love affair
_ [G] _ Is too high a price to [C] _ _ pay _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
Won't [C] you help [Cm] me [Dm] _ [C] pick _ [Dm] up the pieces
[F] _ _ _
Oh [Bb] honey, _ _ [F] _ _ [C] why _ _ don't we start all over
[Bb] _
And start [F] _ all [C] over _
Can _ you help me, honey?
[Gm] _ [Am] Can [C] you help me?
[Dm] _ Can you help [F] me [Eb] pick [F] up the pieces?
[C] _ _
I need your help, baby, just like I needed [Dm] when we started, _ [F] honey
Oh honey, [C] I may give up each and _ _ all [Dm] of it
[F] I'd find myself all [C] alone without you, baby
And I need you, [G] I [Dm] need you to help me
[F] I need you to help me come on and pick up the [C] pieces, baby
_ _ Baby, can you pick them [Dm] up?
_ [F] I don't know, but I just don't [C] believe that I can do it by myself, honey
I need all of the strength that you [Dm] can give to me, baby
[F] I need you to help me, to help me, [C] to help me pick up the pieces
Because I know if I try to [F] pick them up by myself, honey
I may stumble and fall by [C] the wayside
But if you're with me, honey, I know that all I got to do [Dm] is bend down
And I can [F] pick up the pieces
And if you help me pick them up, [C] baby
I know that everything will be alright, honey
Help me pick up [Dm] the _ [F] pieces, _ oh
_ [Am] _ _
_ [Cm] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] Oh baby, please, [F] honey
I need you right now to help me
[C] I need you to help me, I need you to help me
I [Dm] need you to help [F] me pick them up, baby
Because if you pick them up, [C] baby, it's fine, it's gonna be alright
Won't it, baby?
[Dm] _ _
_ [F] _ Oh _ _ [C] _ _
_ baby, please, honey, pick [Dm] up the pieces
I [F] never begged nobody like this before, honey
But I know I [C] need you, and that's why I want you to help me
Pick up the [F] pieces, baby
