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


Intro: G# | Cm | F7 | Bbm | Bbm Bbm C#m C#madd9
       G# Cm7 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    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   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        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#  
   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#  
   And taking drugs and making love
      G#               Cm
   At far too young an age
            F#
   And they never checked to see my grades
          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…
