Intro: F | Am | D7 | Gm | Gm Gm Bbm Bbmadd9
       F Am7 Dm Dm | Gm Gm7 | Csus4 C

          F
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
           Am
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
          D7                           Gm
There’s a party getting started in the yard,
                             Bbm    Bbmadd9 F
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car,
       Am7    Dm
Parked in the drive.
    Gm
Was I too young
            Gm7     Csus4 C
To see this with my eyes?

           F
And by the pool that night, apparently
    Am
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly,
    D7                                  Gm
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                       Bbm
And you woke up at the bottom
Bbmadd9   F   Am7   Dm
By the drain
             Gm
And now your altitude
         Gm7          Csus4 C
And your memory’s a shame.

Chorus:
   F            Gm7         Am7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Gm7
     And filling it up
            F                  Gm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Am7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Gm7                          F
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           C#dim7    Dm       Eb
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   Bb
     I’d like to believe
                C C#               F
     It was all about love for a child.

Instrumental: F | F

F
When the house was
          Am
Left in shambles,
                 D7
Who was there to handle
                         Gm
All the broken bits of glass?
                      Bbm     Bbmadd9 F
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass
       Am7        Dm
Or the other way around?
         Gm             Gm7             Csus4 C
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:
   F            Gm7         Am7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Gm7
     And filling it up
            F                  Gm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Am7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Gm7                          F
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           C#dim7    Dm       Eb
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   Bb
     I’d like to believe
                C C#               F
     It was all about love for a child.

 Eb           Bb  
   It’s kinda nice to work
       F                  Am
   The floor since the divorce,
               Eb
   I’ve been enjoying
           Gm                 F
   Both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
       Eb               Bb  
   And taking drugs and making love
      F                Am
   At far too young an age
            Eb
   And they never checked to see my grades
          C                               
   What a fool I’d be to start complaining now.

Chorus:
   F            Gm7         Am7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Gm7
     And filling it up
            F                  Gm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Am7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Gm7                          F
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           C#dim7    Dm       Eb
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   Bb
     I’d like to believe
                C C#               F
     It was all about love for a child.
            Bb  C C#   F
     It was all about love…
