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

Intro: G# | Cm | F7 | Bbm | Bbm Bbm C#m C#madd9
       G# Cm7/G Fm Fm | Bbm Bbm7 | Ebsus4 Eb

          G#
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
           Cm
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
          F7                           Bbm
There’s a party getting started in the yard,
                             C#m    C#madd9 G#
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car,
       Cm7/G  Fm
Parked in the drive.
    Bbm
Was I too young
            Bbm7    Ebsus4 Eb
To see this with my eyes?

           G#
And by the pool that night, apparently
    Cm
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly,
    F7                                  Bbm
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                       C#m
And you woke up at the bottom
C#madd9   G#  Cm7/G Fm
By the drain
             Bbm
And now your altitude
         Bbm7         Ebsus4 Eb
And your memory’s a shame.

Chorus:
   G#           Bbm7        Cm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Bbm7
     And filling it up
            G#                 Bbm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Cm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Bbm7                         G#
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Edim7     Fm       F#
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   C#
     I’d like to believe
                Eb E               G#
     It was all about love for a child.

Instrumental: G# | G#

G#
When the house was
          Cm
Left in shambles,
                 F7
Who was there to handle
                         Bbm
All the broken bits of glass?
                      C#m     C#madd9 G#
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass
       Cm7/G      Fm
Or the other way around?
         Bbm            Bbm7            Ebsus4 Eb
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:
   G#           Bbm7        Cm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Bbm7
     And filling it up
            G#                 Bbm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Cm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Bbm7                         G#
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Edim7     Fm       F#
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   C#
     I’d like to believe
                Eb E               G#
     It was all about love for a child.

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

Chorus:
   G#           Bbm7        Cm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         Bbm7
     And filling it up
            G#                 Bbm7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Cm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          Bbm7                         G#
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Edim7     Fm       F#
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   C#
     I’d like to believe
                Eb E               G#
     It was all about love for a child.
            C#  Eb E   G#
     It was all about love…
