I Fall to Pieces

Words & Music by Hank Cochran & Harlan Howard
Recorded by Patsy Cline, 1961 (#12)


C  Am7      G      G    F#
I fall to pieces 

 F            G       C      G
Each time I see you again;

C  Am       G          G   F#
I fall to pieces -- 

 F         G               C
How can I be just your friend?


    C           C7           F
You want me to act like we never kissed,

            G         G7    G+      C
You want me to forget,  pretend we never met.

        F                G           C
Well, I tried and I've tried, but I haven't yet --

         F      G           C
You walk by and I fall to pieces.


C  Am7     G       G   F#
I fall to pieces 

 F             G               C     G
Each time someone speaks your name;

C  Am       G         G    F#
I fall to pieces -- 

 F         G            C
Time only adds to the flame.


     C          C7           F
You tell me to find someone else to love,

                 G          G7      G+       C
Someone who'll love me, too,   the way you used to do;

           F        G         C
But each time I go out with someone new,

         F       G           C
You walk by, and I fall to pieces.


Coda:

          F      G          C 
You walk by, and I fall to pieces.
