A
There's a picture on my kitchen wall
C#m
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
F#Bm
There's a party getting started in the yard
BmDmAC#mF#m
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
BmEsus4E
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?
A
By the pool last night, apparently
C#m
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
F#Bm
You hit your head and then forgot your name
BmDmAC#mF#m
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
BmEsus4E
And now your altitude and memory's a shame
ABm7C#m7Bm7
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
ABm7
With a little bit more of some innocence
C#m7Bm7A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
C#7DDm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
Dm7 ( DEF -walk-up notes on the A string)
I like to believe it was all about
A
love for a child
C#m
And when the house was left in shambles
F#Bm
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
BmDmAC#mF#m
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
BmEsus4E
Well I'm far too old to care about that now
ABm7C#m7Bm7
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
ABm7
With a little bit more of innocence
C#m7Bm7A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
C#7DDm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
Dm7 ( DEF -walk-up notes on the A string)
I'd like to believe it was all about
A
love for a child
GBmAC#m
It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
GBmA
I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
GBmAC#m
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
G
and they never check to see my grades
EE/G#A
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now
ABm7C#m7Bm7
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
ABm7
With a little bit more of innocence
C#m7Bm7A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
C#7DDm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
Dm7 ( DEF -walk-up notes on the A string)
I'd love to believe it's all about
A
love for a child
( DEF -walk-up notes on the A string) A
It was all about love...
