 Hi there! 
  
 These are, I believe, the chords to "Jigsaw" by Marillion: 
  
 We are [F#] jigsaw pieces, aligned on the perimeter edge, 
 [B] Interlocked through a missing [F#] piece. 
 We are re[F#]naissance children, becalmed beneath the bridge of sighs, 
 For[B]ever throwing firebrands at the [F#] stondework. 
 We are [Abm] siamese children [E] related by the [F#] heart. 
 [Abm] Bleeding from the [E] surgery of i[F#]nitial confrontation. 
 [Abm] Holding the word [E] scalpels in trembling [F#] lips. 
  
 Stand [Abm] straight, [E] look me in the eye  
 and [B] say good[F#]bye. 
 Stand [Abm] straight, we've [E] drifted past the point  
 of [B] reasons [F#] why. 
 [Abm] Yesterday start to[E]morrow,  
 tomorrow [B] starts to[F#]day. 
 And the [Abm] problem always seems to be we're [E] picking up the pieces  
 on the [B] rico[F#]chet [C#sus4]. 
 [Abm] This is the [F#] ricochet. 
  
 2nd verse: same chords 
  
 2nd chorus: same chords until: 
  
 ... picking up the pieces on the [B] rico[F#]chet. 
 [Dm] [F] This is the [C] rico[Bb]chet. 
  
 Are we [Dm] trigger happy? [F] Russian roulette in the [C] waiting room [Bb]. 
 [Dm] Empty chambers [F] embracing the [C] end [Bb]. 
 [Dm] Puzzled visions [F] haunt the ripples of a [C] trevi [Bb] moon. 
 [Dm] Dream coins for the fountain [F] or te cover your [C] eyes [Bb]. 
  
 We [Am] reached ignition point [F] from the sparks of [G] pleasantries. 
 We [Am] sensed the smoke ad[F]vancing from ho[G]rizons. 
 You[Am] must have known that [F] I was considering an e[G]scape. 
  
 Stand [C#m] straight, [A] look me in the eye 
 and [E] say good[B]bye. 
 Stand [C#m] straight, We've [A] drifted past the point 
 of [E] reasons [B] why. 
 [C#m] Yesterday starts to[A]morrow, 
 tomorrow [E] starts to[B]day. 
 And the [C#m] problem always seems to be we're [A] picking up the pieces 
 on the [E] rico[B]chet. 
  
 [Bm] [G] This is the [A] ricochet.... 
 I'll be [Bm] seeing you again [G] on the [A] ricochet....

 Well, that's it. By the way, does anybody out there understand anything 
 of these lyrics? I don't!
