Lyrics and Music by Jason Mraz, Martin Terefe and Sacha Skarbek

Intro: A | C#m | F#7 | Bm | Bm Bm Dm Dmadd9
       A C#m7/G# F#m F#m | Bm Bm7 | Esus4 E

          A
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
           C#m
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
          F#7                          Bm
There’s a party getting started in the yard,
                             Dm     Dmadd9  A
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car,
       C#m7/G# F#m
Parked in the drive.
    Bm
Was I too young
            Bm7     Esus4 E
To see this with my eyes?

           A
And by the pool that night, apparently
    C#m
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly,
    F#7                                 Bm
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                       Dm
And you woke up at the bottom
Dmadd9    A   C#m7/G# F#m
By the drain
             Bm
And now your altitude
         Bm7          Esus4 E
And your memory’s a shame.

Chorus:
   A            Bm7         C#m7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Bm7
     And filling it up
            A                  Bm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       C#m7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Bm7                          A
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Fdim7     F#m      G
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   D
     I’d like to believe
                E F                A
     It was all about love for a child.

Instrumental: A | A

A
When the house was
          C#m
Left in shambles,
                 F#7
Who was there to handle
                         Bm
All the broken bits of glass?
                      Dm      Dmadd9  A
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass
       C#m7/G#    F#m
Or the other way around?
         Bm             Bm7             Esus4 E
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:
   A            Bm7         C#m7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Bm7
     And filling it up
            A                  Bm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       C#m7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Bm7                          A
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Fdim7     F#m      G
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   D
     I’d like to believe
                E F                A
     It was all about love for a child.

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

Chorus:
   A            Bm7         C#m7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Bm7
     And filling it up
            A                  Bm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       C#m7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Bm7                          A
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Fdim7     F#m      G
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   D
     I’d like to believe
                E F                A
     It was all about love for a child.
            D   E F    A
     It was all about love…
