Chords for Lee Ann Womack ~ Mama Lost Her Smile (Live on the Current)

_ _ I ain't got much to go on, just a box of photographs
But every picture tells a story, [F] and every story has two halves
I keep them separated, in before and after piles
And somewhere [G] in the middle is [F] where mama lost her smile
[F] Somewhere in the summer, back in 1982
Daddy took a job in town and we all had to move
I feel like there's one missing, I've felt it for a while
One that's gonna tell me how mama lost her smile
But you [C] don't take pictures of [G] the bad times
We only wanna remember [F] _ [C] all the sunshine
We don't live in pictures, _ this is [G] real life
And thereabout it's [F] different, _ [C]
as black and white
I [F] don't know why it matters, I just know it does
[C] It's not like it'll change [G] things to find out what it [F] was
She would never tell us, cause that just ain't her style
But [C] I wish I knew the reason [G] why mama lost her smile
But [C] you don't take pictures _ of [F] the bad times
We only wanna remember all the sunshine
We don't live in pictures, _ this [Gm] is real life
And thereabout [F] it's different, as black and white
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] We're older and we're a little worn and _ faded
And [C] we're a little torn
_ But you don't take pictures _ [F] of the bad times
We only wanna remember _ [C] all the sunshine
We don't live in pictures, this is [Gm] real life
And [F] thereabout it's different, _ [C] as black and white
[F] I ain't got much to go on, just a box of photographs
But every picture [A] tells a [C] story, and every [G] story has two heads _
