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

No one told me the trouble I was in

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

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

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DADA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
