How to play Pieces by Sum 41
Start with the chords. Pieces uses 5 different chords; F is held longest — about 35% of the song — so it is the one to make comfortable first. 2 of them need a barre (Bb, F). If barres are new to you, read the barre guide.
Then the changes. The change that repeats most is Bb → F (20 times), followed by F → C (14 times). Drill that pair on its own before the song: the chords change roughly every 2.7 seconds (23 changes per minute), so each change needs to be ready in about a beat. See faster chord changes.
Strumming. At 99 BPM this is a medium song; a good starting pattern is D . D U . U D U (classic pop). More in strumming patterns.

- Instead of Bb, try Bbmaj7: a partial shape on the top four strings, no full barre.

Swap one chord at a time and play along; if it still sounds right with the band, keep it.
