Peace By Piece

B E B E

[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
