Intro: G | Bm | E7 | Am | Am Am Cm Cmadd9
       G Bm7 Em Em | Am Am7 | Dsus4 D

          G
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
           Bm
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
          E7                           Am
There’s a party getting started in the yard,
                             Cm     Cmadd9  G
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car,
       Bm7    Em
Parked in the drive.
    Am
Was I too young
            Am7     Dsus4 D
To see this with my eyes?

           G
And by the pool that night, apparently
    Bm
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly,
    E7                                  Am
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                       Cm
And you woke up at the bottom
Cmadd9    G   Bm7   Em
By the drain
             Am
And now your altitude
         Am7          Dsus4 D
And your memory’s a shame.

Chorus:
   G            Am7         Bm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Am7
     And filling it up
            G                  Am7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Bm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Am7                          G
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Ebdim7    Em       F
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   C
     I’d like to believe
                D Eb               G
     It was all about love for a child.

Instrumental: G | G

G
When the house was
          Bm
Left in shambles,
                 E7
Who was there to handle
                         Am
All the broken bits of glass?
                      Cm      Cmadd9  G
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass
       Bm7        Em
Or the other way around?
         Am             Am7             Dsus4 D
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:
   G            Am7         Bm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Am7
     And filling it up
            G                  Am7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Bm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Am7                          G
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Ebdim7    Em       F
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   C
     I’d like to believe
                D Eb               G
     It was all about love for a child.

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

Chorus:
   G            Am7         Bm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Am7
     And filling it up
            G                  Am7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Bm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Am7                          G
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Ebdim7    Em       F
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   C
     I’d like to believe
                D Eb               G
     It was all about love for a child.
            C   D Eb   G
     It was all about love…
