Things Have Gone to Pieces

[Verse 1]
Oh, the faucet started drippin' in the kitchen
And last night, your picture fell down from the wall
Today the boss said, "Sorry, I can't use you anymore"
And tonight, the light bulb went out in the hall

[Chorus]
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half-right now it seems
There ain't nothing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream

[Verse 2]
Somebody threw a baseball through my window
And the arm fell off my favorite chair again
The man called me today and said he'd haul my things away
If I didn't get my payments made by ten

[Chorus]
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half-right now it seems
There ain't nothing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream
