Message-ID:
Hi there!
These are, I believe, the chords to "Jigsaw" by Marillion:
F#
We are jigsaw pieces, aligned on the perimeter edge,
B F#
Interlocked through a missing piece.
F#
We are renaissance children, becalmed beneath the bridge of sighs,
B F#
Forever throwing firebrands at the stondework.
Abm E F#
We are siamese children related by the heart.
Abm E F#
Bleeding from the surgery of initial confrontation.
Abm E F#
Holding the word scalpels in trembling lips.
Abm E
Stand straight, look me in the eye
B F#
and say goodbye.
Abm E
Stand straight, we've drifted past the point
B F#
of reasons why.
Abm E
Yesterday start tomorrow,
B F#
tomorrow starts today.
Abm E
And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces
B F# C#sus4
on the ricochet .
Abm F#
This is the ricochet.
2nd verse: same chords
2nd chorus: same chords until:
B F#
... picking up the pieces on the ricochet.
DF C Bb
This is the ricochet.
Dm F C Bb
Are we trigger happy? Russian roulette in the waiting room .
Dm F C Bb
Empty chambers embracing the end .
Dm F C Bb
Puzzled visions haunt the ripples of a trevi moon.
Dm F C Bb
Dream coins for the fountain or te cover your eyes .
Am F G
We reached ignition point from the sparks of pleasantries.
Am F G
We sensed the smoke advancing from horizons.
Am F G
You must have known that I was considering an escape.
C#m A
Stand straight, look me in the eye
E B
and say goodbye.
C#m A
Stand straight, We've drifted past the point
E B
of reasons why.
C#m A
Yesterday starts tomorrow,
E B
tomorrow starts today.
C#m A
And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces
E B
on the ricochet.
BG A
This is the ricochet....
Bm G A
I'll be seeing you again on the ricochet....

Well, that's it. By the way, does anybody out there understand anything
of these lyrics? I don't!
