Capo on 1st fret
[Intro]
[A]
[Verse]
There's a p[A]picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like J[C#m]Jesus and his friends involved
There's a [F#]party getting started in the [Bm]yard
There's a [Bm]couple getting s[Dm]teamy in the c[A]ar parked[C#m] in the dr[F#m]ive
Was[Bm]Was I too young to see this with my [Esus4]eyes? [E]
[Verse2]
By the p[A]pool last night, apparently
The c[C#m]chemicals weren't mixed properly
You [F#]hit your head and then forgot your n[Bm]name
And then you w[Bm]oke up at the b[Dm]ottom by the dra[A]in [C#m] [F#m]
And now your a[Bm]altitude and memory's a s[Esus4]shame [E]
[Chorus]
[A] What about t[Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and f[Bm7]filling it up
With a li[A]little bit more of some i[Bm7]innocence
I h[C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're yo[A]young
It's ok[C#7]ay to be ea[D]sily ign[Dm7]ored
Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I like to believe it was all about
love for a ch[A]child
[Verse3]
And when the house was left in [C#m]shambles
Who was there to han[F#]handle all the broken bits of g[Bm]glass
Was it [Bm]mom who put my [Dm]dad out on his a[A]ass or the [C#m]other way a[F#m]around
Well I'm [Bm]far too old to care about that n[Esus4]now [E]
[Chorus]
[A] What about t[Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and f[Bm7]filling it up
With a li[A]little bit more of innoce[Bm7]innocence
I h[C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're yo[A]young
It's ok[C#7]ay to be ea[D]sily ign[Dm7]ored
Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I'd like to believe it was all about
love for a ch[A]child
[Verse4]
[G] It's kinda n[Bm]ice to work the fl[A]oor since the div[C#m]orce
I've been enj[G]oying both my Chr[Bm]istmases and my birthday cak[A]es
And t[G]aking drugs and m[Bm]aking love at f[A]ar too young an[C#m] age
and they n[G]never check to see my grades
What a f[E]ool I'd be to start comp[E/G#]laining no[A]w
[Chorus]
[A] What about t[Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and f[Bm7]filling it up
With a li[A]little bit more of innoce[Bm7]innocence
I h[C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're yo[A]young
It's ok[C#7]ay to be ea[D]sily ign[Dm7]ored
Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I'd love to believe it's all about
love for a ch[A]child
[Outro]
(D E F-walk-up notes on the A string) A
It was all about love...
