Jigsaw

Key: FEasy

Hi there!

These are, I believe, the chords to "Jigsaw" by Marillion:

We are F# jigsaw pieces, aligned on the perimeter edge,

B Interlocked through a missing F# piece.

We are reF#naissance children, becalmed beneath the bridge of sighs,

ForBever throwing firebrands at the F# stondework.

We are Abm siamese children E related by the F# heart.

Abm Bleeding from the E surgery of iF#nitial confrontation.

Abm Holding the word E scalpels in trembling F# lips.

Stand Abm straight, E look me in the eye

and B say goodF#bye.

Stand Abm straight, we've E drifted past the point

of B reasons F# why.

Abm Yesterday start toEmorrow,

tomorrow B starts toF#day.

And the Abm problem always seems to be we're E picking up the pieces

on the B ricoF#chet C#4.

Abm This is the F# ricochet.

2nd verse: same chords

2nd chorus: same chords until:

... picking up the pieces on the B ricoF#chet.

Dm F This is the C ricoBbchet.

Are we Dm trigger happy? F Russian roulette in the C waiting room Bb.

Dm Empty chambers F embracing the C end Bb.

Dm Puzzled visions F haunt the ripples of a C trevi Bb moon.

Dm Dream coins for the fountain F or te cover your C eyes Bb.

We Am reached ignition point F from the sparks of G pleasantries.

We Am sensed the smoke adFvancing from hoGrizons.

YouAm must have known that F I was considering an eGscape.

Stand C#m straight, A look me in the eye

and E say goodBbye.

Stand C#m straight, We've A drifted past the point

of E reasons B why.

C#m Yesterday starts toAmorrow,

tomorrow E starts toBday.

And the C#m problem always seems to be we're A picking up the pieces

on the E ricoBchet.

Bm G This is the A ricochet....

I'll be Bm seeing you again G on the A ricochet....

This strange engine

Key: DmHard

F#maj7

Cmaj7

There was a boy whDmo came into this world at the hands oFf a holy woman in a holy plDmace F

He wore a Dmred coat and walked a bulldog,F saw them reflected in the mirrDmor of the lakeFs

Lived in the Dmshadow of the mountains with the smelFls of disinfectant

Dusty Dmold leather and the polished wood of his bed F

No more than a Dmbaby feeding swans on the river,F holding the hands of his mother

And the Cwax paper bag of yesterday's Gbread F C G

And his Ffather on the other side of the worlCd Gon the ship's railings and some far awaFy tide

With the siClent dry tear of home thouGghts from abroad in his faFr away eyes C

In his Gfar away eyFes F Cm Eb Bb

F The smell of the wax on the Cmwooden floor,Eb mixture of polish and soBbap

F No children to fear or to plCmay with,Eb rows of empty hooks fBbor the coats

An Fupright piano and the bCmoys in the choir Eb still remind him of just before he Bbwas born

F Remind him of just before Cmhe was breathing,Eb strange misty visions of GBbod

F Turn the cities into faCmmilies,Eb into villages of sBbouls

F Hovering in the air whCmile they're sleeping,Eb with their houses invisBbible

F Send to me the ghosts oCmf Christmas,Eb whispering, "You're the only one"

1 1 1

And ever since I was a boy, I never felt that I belonged

1 1

Like everything they did to me was an experiment to see

1 1

How I would cope with the illusion, in which direction would I jump

1 1

Would I do it all the same as the actors in the game

Or would I spit it back at Bbthem and not get caught up in their rFules

And live according to my Bbown and not be used, Fnot be used

To find the fundamental Ebtruths, it was gonna take some Bbtime

Thirty-five summers down the Abline, the wisdom of each passing Fyear

Seems to serve only to conAbfuse, seems to serve only to conFfuse

Bm 200 fates entwined inAside the plane

A We watched as England dropped aGway from us again

A I wasn't waiting, I wasn't Bmsure what I would find

A I was preF#mpared to let it happen on its Gown this time

A Bm I had a feeling I was Afloating into time F#m spent amongst Gfriends

A Reintroduced from Bmother strange and wonderAful weekEmends

As the F#mseat belt signs announced the Gfall

I reaAlised I'd been falling for a Bmwhile

We'd been Afalling for some time Em into F#mMontreal

GBmFCmaj7

I saw Gice upon the river as the plane came Bmin to land

I heard FJoni Mitchell singin' her poems of Cmaj7isolation

The Gman at immigration said his friends all Bmknew the band

BiFzarre to come so far to an outstretched hand and Cmaj7easy conversation

We were Gwelcomed through arrivals without the usual Bmtransatlantic fuss

And Fgreeted by the fans who led us to the chilly street Cmaj7onto the bus

The Cmsnow had hung aAbround on the Ebcorners of the vacant Bb/Dlots

And CmFrance was singing Abin the air of Ebhi-rise North ABb/Dmerica

AAnd as we made our way into the hotel F#mhall

The Gman behind the desk broke a knowing smile, and Dmaj7said

"Hello sir, welcome back to Montreal."

We hid aEmway for the day D/F in our iGdentical rooms A

Last time (3/4 time):

C, Bm (7/8 time) (2x)

We were inCvited to the circus - guests of honour if you please

By a Bmgirl with an eskimo name

And in the Ccafe of the Cirque 'Soleil we bought Easter-eggs from outer-space

Bm40 different languages are spoken in this place

And inCside the steel-glass building I gazed up at the trapeze

The Bmbuilding 30 metres tall - we watched the acrobat Cfall

He was quite Bmsafe

He was falling into MonCtreal

Into MontreBmal
