Mama Lost Her Smile Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Em][D][Dsus4][D]
[Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D]
[Dsus4]

[Verse 1]
[D]I ain't got much to g[G]o on
[Dsus4]Just a box of ph[D]otographs
[Dsus4]And every picture t[D]ells a s[A]tory[Bm]
[A]But every [G]story has two halves

[Verse 2]
[D]I keep 'em separate
In before-and-after piles
piles
[Dsus4]piles
[D]Somewhere [A]in the middle
[Bm]Is where[A] mama [G]lost her smile[D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Somewhere in the sum[G]mer
[D]Back in [G]198[D]2
Daddy [A]took [Bm]a job in town
[A]And[G] we all had to [D]move

[Verse 4]
[D]I feel like there's one missing
[Dsus4]I've felt it f[D]or a while[G][Dsus4]
[D]One [A]that's gonna [Bm]tell me
[A]How [G]mama lost her [D]smile

[Verse 5]
But you don't take [A]pictures
Of [G]the bad times
We only wanna remem[D]ber
All the [A]sunshine

[Verse 6]
[A]We don't live in pictures
This is [Em]real life
And they're about [D]as different
[A]As black and white

[Verse 7]
[D]I don't know why it m[G]atters[Dsus4]
[D]I just know it [G]does
[Dsus4]It's not like [D]it'll cha[A]nge th[Bm]ings[A]
[G]To find out what it was

[Verse 8]
[D]She would never tell us[Dsus4]
[D]That just ain't her [G]style
[Dsus4]But I wish I kn[D]ew th[A]e reaso[Bm]n why
[A]Mam[G]a lost her smile

[Verse 9]
But you don't take [A]pictures
Of the [G]bad times
[D]We only [G]wanna remem[D]ber
All the [A]sunshine

[Verse 10]
[A]We don't live in pictures
This is [Em]real life
And they're about [D]as different
As [A]black and white

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][G][D][G][Dsus4][D][A]
[Bm][A][G][D][G][D][G][D]
[A][Bm][A][G]

[Verse 11]
We're [C]all a little older
And we're [D]all a little worn
We're [C]all a little faded
And we're [A]all a little torn

[Verse 12]
[A]
But you don't take pictures
[D]Of the [G]bad times
We only wanna remem[D]ber
All the [A]sunshine

[Verse 13]
[A]We don't live in pictures
This [Em]is real life
And they're about [D]as different
As [A]black and white

[Verse 14]
[D]I ain't got much to go [G]on
Just a [D]box of photograph[G]s
Every [D]picture [A]tell[Bm]s a story
[A]And every [G]story has two halves
