Intro: [drum beat]
Verse 1:
F Bb/D F (F) Bb/Ab F
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
Since you left me and you said goodbye
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
All I do is sit and cry
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
You went away and left me misery
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
F [N.C.]
And that's the way it'll always be
[drum fill]
Verse 2:
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
You said you'd love me and you'd always be mine
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
We'd be together 'til the end of time
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
Now you say it was just a game
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
But all you're doin' is leavin' me pain
[drum fill]
Bridge:
v v v v
G -----------------|
D -----------------|

Time goes by, it goes so slow (oh, yeah)
D7
Since you said we'd be through
G7
Only just a few days ago
C7 [N.C.]
You said you'd love me, never make me blue
[drum fill]
Verse 3:
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
Now you're gone and I'm all alone
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
And you're still way up there on your throne
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
Nothin' seems to ever go right
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
As night is day and day is night
[drum fill; end cold on F (bass only)]

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DAVE CLARK FIVE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
