Chords

[Intro] F F G C x2 [Verse 1]
C                                        F
I ain't got much to go on, just a box of photographs

C                                                    G
And every picture tells a story, but every story has two halves

C                       G
I keep 'em separated in before-and-after piles

C                                 F
Somewhere in the middle is where mama lost her smile
[Verse 2]
C
Somewhere in the summer back in 1982

F                        G
Daddy took a job in town and we all had to move

C                                             F
I feel like there's one missing, I've felt it for a while

C                         F
One that's gonna tell me, how mama lost her smile
[Chorus]
G                                  C
But you don't take pictures of the bad times

C                      G
We only wanna remember all the sunshine

C                F
We don't live in pictures, this is real life

G                               C
And they're about as different as black and white
[Verse 3]
C
I don't know why it matters, I just know it does

C        F
It's not like it'll change things to find out what it was

G                       C
She would never tell us that just ain't her style

C                                F
God I wish I knew the reason why mama lost her smile
[Chorus]
G                                  C
But you don't take pictures of the bad times

C                      G
We only wanna remember all the sunshine

C                F
We don't live in pictures, this is real life

G                              C
And they're about as different as black and white
[Bridge]
F
We're all a little older and we're all a little worn

F
We're all a little faded and we're all a little torn
[Chorus]
G                                  C
But you don't take pictures of the bad times

C                      G
We only wanna remember all the sunshine

C                F
We don't live in pictures, this is real life

G                               C
And they're about as different as black and white
[Outro]
C                                         F
I ain't got much to go on, just a box of photographs

C                                                G
Every picture tells a story and every story has two halves
