Intro: C | Em | A7 | Dm | Dm Dm Fm Fmadd9
       C Em7/B Am Am | Dm Dm7 | Gsus4 G

          C
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
           Em
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
          A7                           Dm
There’s a party getting started in the yard,
                             Fm     Fmadd9  C
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car,
       Em7/B  Am
Parked in the drive.
    Dm
Was I too young
            Dm7     Gsus4 G
To see this with my eyes?

           C
And by the pool that night, apparently
    Em
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly,
    A7                                  Dm
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                       Fm
And you woke up at the bottom
Fmadd9    C   Em7/B Am
By the drain
             Dm
And now your altitude
         Dm7          Gsus4 G
And your memory’s a shame.

Chorus:
   C            Dm7         Em7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Dm7
     And filling it up
            C                  Dm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Em7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Dm7                          C
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           G#dim7    Am       Bb
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   F
     I’d like to believe
                G G#               C
     It was all about love for a child.

Instrumental: C | C

C
When the house was
          Em
Left in shambles,
                 A7
Who was there to handle
                         Dm
All the broken bits of glass?
                      Fm      Fmadd9  C
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass
       Em7/B      Am
Or the other way around?
         Dm             Dm7             Gsus4 G
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:
   C            Dm7         Em7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Dm7
     And filling it up
            C                  Dm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Em7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Dm7                          C
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           G#dim7    Am       Bb
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   F
     I’d like to believe
                G G#               C
     It was all about love for a child.

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

Chorus:
   C            Dm7         Em7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Dm7
     And filling it up
            C                  Dm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Em7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Dm7                          C
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           G#dim7    Am       Bb
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   F
     I’d like to believe
                G G#               C
     It was all about love for a child.
            F   G G#   C
     It was all about love…
