Intro: D | F#m | B7 | Em | Em Em Gm Gm
       D F#m7 Bm Bm | Em Em7 | A A

          D
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
           F#m
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
          B7                           Em
There’s a party getting started in the yard,
                             Gm             D
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car,
       F#m7   Bm
Parked in the drive.
    Em
Was I too young
            Em7     A
To see this with my eyes?

           D
And by the pool that night, apparently
    F#m
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly,
    B7                                  Em
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                       Gm
And you woke up at the bottom
          D   F#m7  Bm
By the drain
             Em
And now your altitude
         Em7          A
And your memory’s a shame.

Chorus:
   D            Em7         F#m7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Em7
     And filling it up
            D                  Em7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       F#m7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Em7                          D
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           A7        Bm       C
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   G
     I’d like to believe
                A Bb               D
     It was all about love for a child.

Instrumental: D | D

D
When the house was
          F#m
Left in shambles,
                 B7
Who was there to handle
                         Em
All the broken bits of glass?
                      Gm              D
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass
       F#m7       Bm
Or the other way around?
         Em             Em7             A
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:
   D            Em7         F#m7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Em7
     And filling it up
            D                  Em7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       F#m7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Em7                          D
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           A7        Bm       C
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   G
     I’d like to believe
                A Bb               D
     It was all about love for a child.

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

Chorus:
   D            Em7         F#m7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Em7
     And filling it up
            D                  Em7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       F#m7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Em7                          D
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           A7        Bm       C
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   G
     I’d like to believe
                A Bb               D
     It was all about love for a child.
            G   A Bb   D
     It was all about love…
