cool verse riff
[verse riff played 2x with no vocals
then verse riff played over each line (4x)]
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
Before my life, before my life went dim
Before my life, before my life went dim
No one told me the trouble I was in
Before my life went dim
intro riff 2x
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
[guitar solo
part 1]
--9--9--9--9--9--9--9-----9--9--9--9--9--9--9--- o
guitar solo, part 2 (under construction)
intro riff 2x
rhythm carried by drums & bass. verse riff not played.
Can't this car go any faster
arpeggio fades in under lines 2-4
Can't this car go any faster
Can't this car go any faster
Cause I can still see where I am
Before my life went dim
Before my life went dim
You should have told me The trouble I was in
Before my life went dim
intro 4x and end
"Now about those pictures..."
"I can explain! I was young! I needed the money!.."
