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

G             D             C              C

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

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

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