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

Intro: F# | Bbm | Eb7 | G#m | G#m G#m Bm Bmadd9
       F# Bbm7/F Ebm Ebm | G#m G#m7 | C#sus4 C#

          F#
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
           Bbm
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
          Eb7                          G#m
There’s a party getting started in the yard,
                             Bm     Bmadd9  F#
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car,
       Bbm7/F Ebm
Parked in the drive.
    G#m
Was I too young
            G#m7    C#sus4 C#
To see this with my eyes?

           F#
And by the pool that night, apparently
    Bbm
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly,
    Eb7                                 G#m
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                       Bm
And you woke up at the bottom
Bmadd9    F#  Bbm7/F Ebm
By the drain
             G#m
And now your altitude
         G#m7         C#sus4 C#
And your memory’s a shame.

Chorus:
   F#           G#m7        Bbm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         G#m7
     And filling it up
            F#                 G#m7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Bbm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          G#m7                         F#
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Ddim7     Ebm      E
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   B
     I’d like to believe
                C# D               F#
     It was all about love for a child.

Instrumental: F# | F#

F#
When the house was
          Bbm
Left in shambles,
                 Eb7
Who was there to handle
                         G#m
All the broken bits of glass?
                      Bm      Bmadd9  F#
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass
       Bbm7/F     Ebm
Or the other way around?
         G#m            G#m7            C#sus4 C#
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:
   F#           G#m7        Bbm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         G#m7
     And filling it up
            F#                 G#m7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Bbm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          G#m7                         F#
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Ddim7     Ebm      E
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   B
     I’d like to believe
                C# D               F#
     It was all about love for a child.

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

Chorus:
   F#           G#m7        Bbm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         G#m7
     And filling it up
            F#                 G#m7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Bbm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          G#m7                         F#
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Ddim7     Ebm      E
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   B
     I’d like to believe
                C# D               F#
     It was all about love for a child.
            B   C# D   F#
     It was all about love…
