Riff
Verse 1

Chorus
My life's in pieces like a jigsaw

Nowhere to be (repeat)

Riff
Chorus
(What a shame - that my)
My life's in pieces like a jigsaw
Ooh-ooh-ooh, like a jigsaw (repeat)
My life's in pieces like a jigsaw
Ooh-ooh-ooh, like a...
Ooh - jigsaw!
Ooh - jigsaw!
Ooh - jigsaw!

Bridge 1
Why was I so blind? Why I could not find
Jigsaw!
