Intro: Eb | Gm | C7 | Fm | Fm Fm G#m G#madd9
       Eb Gm7/D Cm Cm | Fm Fm7 | Bbsus4 Bb

          Eb
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
           Gm
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
          C7                           Fm
There’s a party getting started in the yard,
                             G#m    G#madd9 Eb
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car,
       Gm7/D  Cm
Parked in the drive.
    Fm
Was I too young
            Fm7     Bbsus4 Bb
To see this with my eyes?

           Eb
And by the pool that night, apparently
    Gm
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly,
    C7                                  Fm
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                       G#m
And you woke up at the bottom
G#madd9   Eb  Gm7/D Cm
By the drain
             Fm
And now your altitude
         Fm7          Bbsus4 Bb
And your memory’s a shame.

Chorus:
   Eb           Fm7         Gm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Fm7
     And filling it up
            Eb                 Fm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Gm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Fm7                          Eb
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Bdim7     Cm       C#
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   G#
     I’d like to believe
                Bb B               Eb
     It was all about love for a child.

Instrumental: Eb | Eb

Eb
When the house was
          Gm
Left in shambles,
                 C7
Who was there to handle
                         Fm
All the broken bits of glass?
                      G#m     G#madd9 Eb
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass
       Gm7/D      Cm
Or the other way around?
         Fm             Fm7             Bbsus4 Bb
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:
   Eb           Fm7         Gm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Fm7
     And filling it up
            Eb                 Fm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Gm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Fm7                          Eb
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Bdim7     Cm       C#
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   G#
     I’d like to believe
                Bb B               Eb
     It was all about love for a child.

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

Chorus:
   Eb           Fm7         Gm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Fm7
     And filling it up
            Eb                 Fm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Gm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Fm7                          Eb
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Bdim7     Cm       C#
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   G#
     I’d like to believe
                Bb B               Eb
     It was all about love for a child.
            G#  Bb B   Eb
     It was all about love…
