Intro: B | Ebm | G#7 | C#m | C#m C#m Em Emadd9
       B Ebm7 G#m G#m | C#m C#m7 | F#sus4 F#

          B
There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
           Ebm
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
          G#7                          C#m
There’s a party getting started in the yard,
                             Em     Emadd9  B
And there’s a couple getting steamy in the car,
       Ebm7   G#m
Parked in the drive.
    C#m
Was I too young
            C#m7    F#sus4 F#
To see this with my eyes?

           B
And by the pool that night, apparently
    Ebm
The chemicals weren’t mixed properly,
    G#7                                 C#m
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                       Em
And you woke up at the bottom
Emadd9    B   Ebm7  G#m
By the drain
             C#m
And now your altitude
         C#m7         F#sus4 F#
And your memory’s a shame.

Chorus:
   B            C#m7        Ebm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         C#m7
     And filling it up
            B                  C#m7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Ebm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          C#m7                         B
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Gdim7     G#m      A
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   E
     I’d like to believe
                F# G               B
     It was all about love for a child.

Instrumental: B | B

B
When the house was
          Ebm
Left in shambles,
                 G#7
Who was there to handle
                         C#m
All the broken bits of glass?
                      Em      Emadd9  B
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass
       Ebm7       G#m
Or the other way around?
         C#m            C#m7            F#sus4 F#
Well I’m far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:
   B            C#m7        Ebm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         C#m7
     And filling it up
            B                  C#m7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Ebm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          C#m7                         B
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Gdim7     G#m      A
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   E
     I’d like to believe
                F# G               B
     It was all about love for a child.

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

Chorus:
   B            C#m7        Ebm7
     What about taking this empty cup
         C#m7
     And filling it up
            B                  C#m7
     With a little bit more of innocence
       Ebm7
     I haven’t had enough;
          C#m7                         B
     It’s probably because when you’re young
           Gdim7     G#m      A
     It’s okay to be easily ignored.
   E
     I’d like to believe
                F# G               B
     It was all about love for a child.
            E   F# G   B
     It was all about love…
