[Verse 1]
B
A little bit broken, a little bit bruised, mmh
F#m E
A little bit beat up, a little bit used
B
But I'm wiping the blood off, I'm healing my wounds
F#m E
'Cause momma didn't raise no quitter so I'm not gonna lose
[Pre-Chorus]
B E B/A E B
'Cause I know that you have got more fight
E B/A E
Left within you
[Chorus]
B E
I'm building my peace by piece
A E
Every scar is lesson one
B E
I'm changing the inner me
B E
Learning to love again, live, and breathe
B E B E
I'm doing it peace by piece
B E B E
I'm doing it peace by piece, yeah
[Verse 2]
B
If Peter Pan would never pick those peppers what would I be
E
I'd be a little black boy always running from the oldest
B
They were picking on me 'cause my fingers looked shiny
E
Carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders
B
I couldn't catch a break, felt like giving up
E
But I had a little luck when I thought that my luck was running out
A
So just when you think your life will end
E
You can always start again
[Pre-Chorus]
B E B/A E B
I know that you have got more fight
E B/A E
Left within you
[Chorus]
B E
I'm building my peace by piece
A E
Every scar is lesson one
B E
I'm changing the inner me
B E
Learning to love again, live, and breathe
B E B E
I'm doing it peace by piece
B E B E
I'm doing it peace by piece, yeah
[Verse 3]
B E
Peace is only achievable to those of us who seek it, cultivate it
B E
And understand that self-love is the best kind of love you can give
B E
It's not an easy thing to do, nor is it a linear path
B E
But the end result makes it all worthwhile
B E
I promise we'll get there one day
[Chorus]
B E
I'm building my peace by piece
A E
Every scar is lesson one
B E
I'm changing the inner me
B E
Learning to love again, live, and breathe
B E B E
I'm doing it peace by piece
B E B E
I'm doing it peace by piece, yeah
