[verse 1]
If you've got pictures of your face
Could you leave it on your way out the door
I don't care if it's color or black or white
I just need something to remember you by

[chorus]
G             D             C              C
                           Before my life, before my life went dim

G             D             C              C
                           Before my life, before my life went dim

Em            D             C              C
       No one told me the trouble I was in

G             D             C              C
      Before my life went dim

[intro riff 2x]

[verse 2]
I painted half my face green
I painted half my face blue
In hopes of showing you both sides of me both sides of me
I guess it came down to don't you love don't you love me


[chorus]
Before my life went dim
Before my life went dim
No one told me the trouble I was in
Before my life went dim

Before my life went dim
