verse 1 
         C                        G 
Like the seeds of the weeds in an Autumn wind 
   Em            C   F C 
We met out in midair 
                       G 
And fell together in a patch of ground 
    Em           C     F C 
And grew to be a pair 


verse 2 
    Am                D7    G 
But not a pair in the usual sense 
   Dm 
As you were much too tall 
G    C                 G 
With curly hair, while mine was straight 
    C     G       C     F C 
And I was much to small 


B7           F            C 
We were like interlocking pieces 
       E  Am  G         C

Instrumental: B7    F  C  E Am  G  C  F C 


verse 3 
                                  G 
Now the puzzle is faded, half the pieces are lost 
     Em                  C    F C 
It’s limp with ten years wear 
                             G 
Our edges are ragged and the fit is loose 
  Em                        C    F C 
I guess that we’d best take care 


verse 4 
    Am                   D7           G 
Our scene is pastoral, naive like our minds 
        Dm 
And not fun to be in sometimes 
    G  C                      G 
And we want a change from the fields and the skies 
    C                  G    C     F C 
And crave some dots or some lines 

 
B7           F            C 
We were like interlocking pieces 
       E  Am  G         C

B7        F            C 
Ooh, ooh, interlocking pieces 
       E  Am  G         C
