Fall to Pieces (Velvet Revolver song)

"Fall to Pieces" is a power ballad written and performed by Velvet Revolver that appears on their debut album Contraband in 2004.

The song's lyrics are about then lead singer Scott Weiland's battle with heroin and its toll on his relationship with his wife, model Mary Forsberg.

The song is played with 1/2 step down-tuned guitars, unlike most of Velvet Revolver's catalogue.

Similar to "Sweet Child o' Mine" by Guns N' Roses (Slash, McKagan and Sorum's previous band), the song is in the key of D-flat Mixolydian, and is based on an arpeggiated riff around the Dsus4 chord.

Weiland wrote the lyrics; Slash, McKagan, Kushner, and Sorum composed the music.
