[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

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
