Long [C] before you ever saw your chances You [G] were gonna burn the city down
Tired of [C] the fashions and the dances Tired of [G] the people standing around
[Em] Ticking like a bomb in the night And you [C] knew you were right, black and [G] white
Blame it on the time it took to leave here Blame it [G] on the wolves who slowed you down
Blame it [C] on the kind of friends you knew here Blame it [G] on the sickness going around

[D] Black and [E] white _ _ [Em] The pictures [G] of a life in flames
[Bm] Black [D] and [E] white [Em] _ _ _

Tell them that [G] you've gone to find a person Someone you lost track of long ago _

You [G] were fast, you were bright Then [D] you were gone in the [B] light
[D] Black [E] and white _ [Em] The _ pictures [G] of a life in flames
_ [B]
Black [D] [E] and white _ [Em] _
The picture [G] of a life remains _ _
And [C] the high ideals and the promise [G] You once dressed the future in
