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

Intro: E | G#m | C#7 | F#m | F#m F#m Am Amadd9
       E G#m7/Eb C#m C#m | F#m F#m7 | Bsus4 B

          E
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
           G#m
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
          C#7                          F#m
There’s a party getting started in the yard,
                             Am     Amadd9  E
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car,
       G#m7/Eb C#m
Parked in the drive.
    F#m
Was I too young
            F#m7    Bsus4 B
To see this with my eyes?

           E
And by the pool that night, apparently
    G#m
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly,
    C#7                                 F#m
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                       Am
And you woke up at the bottom
Amadd9    E   G#m7/Eb C#m
By the drain
             F#m
And now your altitude
         F#m7         Bsus4 B
And your memory’s a shame.

Chorus:
   E            F#m7        G#m7
     What about taking this empty cup
         F#m7
     And filling it up
            E                  F#m7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       G#m7
     I haven’t had enough;
          F#m7                         E
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Cdim7     C#m      D
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   A
     I’d like to believe
                B C                E
     It was all about love for a child.

Instrumental: E | E

E
When the house was
          G#m
Left in shambles,
                 C#7
Who was there to handle
                         F#m
All the broken bits of glass?
                      Am      Amadd9  E
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass
       G#m7/Eb    C#m
Or the other way around?
         F#m            F#m7            Bsus4 B
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:
   E            F#m7        G#m7
     What about taking this empty cup
         F#m7
     And filling it up
            E                  F#m7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       G#m7
     I haven’t had enough;
          F#m7                         E
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Cdim7     C#m      D
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   A
     I’d like to believe
                B C                E
     It was all about love for a child.

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

Chorus:
   E            F#m7        G#m7
     What about taking this empty cup
         F#m7
     And filling it up
            E                  F#m7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       G#m7
     I haven’t had enough;
          F#m7                         E
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Cdim7     C#m      D
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   A
     I’d like to believe
                B C                E
     It was all about love for a child.
            A   B C    E
     It was all about love…
