Intro: A

Verse:
           A
There's a picture on my kitchen wall
            Dbm
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
          Gb                           Bm
There's a party getting started in the yard
          Bm              Dm            A        Dbm       Gbm
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?

Verse 2:
        A
By the pool last night, apparently
     Dbm
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
    Gb                                  Bm
You hit your head and then forgot your name
              Bm             Dm              A     Dbm    Gbm
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
              Bm                      Esus4    E
And now your altitude and memory's a shame

Chorus:
A            Bm7        Dbm7           Bm7
 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
         A                      Bm7
With a little bit more of some innocence
   Dbm7                    Bm7                            A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
       Db7        D       Dm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
Dm7                       D E F        A
I like to believe it was all about
             A
love for a child

Verse 3:
                               Dbm
And when the house was left in shambles
                    Gb                          Bm
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
       Bm             Dm              A         Dbm        Gbm
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

Chorus:
A            Bm7        Dbm7           Bm7
 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
         A                      Bm7
With a little bit more of innocence
   Dbm7                    Bm7                            A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
       Db7        D       Dm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
Dm7                       D E F        A
I'd like to believe it was all about
             A
love for a child

Verse 4:
G              Bm                A                Dbm
   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              Dbm
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
          G
and they never check to see my grades
        E                       E         A
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now

Chorus:
A            Bm7        Dbm7           Bm7
 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
         A                      Bm7
With a little bit more of innocence
   Dbm7                    Bm7                            A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
       Db7        D       Dm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
Dm7                       D E F        A
I'd love to believe it's all about
             A
love for a child

Outro:
       D E F        A
It was all about love...
