          A
There's a picture on my kitchen wall
           C#m
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
          F#                           Bm
There's a party getting started in the yard
         (Bm)            Dm            A          C#m    F#m
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
    Bm                              Esus4  E
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?

       A
By the pool last night, apparently
    C#m
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
    F#                                 Bm
You hit your head and then forgot your name
            (Bm)            Dm            A
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
             Bm                      Esus4  E
And now your altitude and memory's a shame

A          Bm7         C#m7          Bm7
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
       A                  Bm7
With a little bit more of innocence
  C#m7                     Bm7                          A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
     C#7        D      Dm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
                         D                    A
I like to believe it was all about love for a child

                               C#m
And when the house was left in shambles
                 F#                            Bm
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
       Bm             Dm             A          C#m       F#m
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
         Bm                             Esus4  E
Well I'm far too old to care about that now

A          Bm7         C#m7          Bm7
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
       A                  Bm7
With a little bit more of innocence
  C#m7                     Bm7                          A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
     C#7        D      Dm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
                           D                    A
I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child

G          Bm               A               C#m7
It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
          G                Bm                          A
I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
    G                Bm             A                C#m
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
         G
And they never check to see my grades
       E                   (E/G#)       A
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now

A          Bm7         C#m7          Bm7
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
       A                  Bm7
With a little bit more of innocence
  C#m7                     Bm7                          A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
     C#7        D      Dm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
                         D                    A
I'd love to believe it's all about love for a child

       D         A
It was all about love...
