D MajorD
There's a picture on my kitchen wall

      F# minorF#m
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved

      D7D7              G+G
There's a party getting started in the yard

      G minorGm             D MajorD         F# minorF#m
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive

  E minorEm                A augmentedA
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?

    D MajorD
By the pool last night, apparently

   F# minorF#m
The chemicals weren't mixed properly

  D7D7                 G+G
You hit your head and then forgot your name

       G minorGm              D MajorD   F# minorF#m
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain

        E minorEm           A augmentedA
And now your altitude and memory's a shame

D MajorD            F# minorF#m
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

     D7D7
With a little bit more of innocence

  E minorEm            A augmentedA              D MajorD
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young

   F# minorF#m     D7D7   G+G
It's okay to be easily ignored

E minorEm            A7A7         D MajorD
I like to believe it was all about love for a child

                F# minorF#m
And when the house was left in shambles

         D7D7              G+G
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass

    G minorGm              D MajorD           F# minorF#m
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around

     E minorEm               A augmentedA
Well I'm far too old to care about that now

D MajorD            F# minorF#m
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

    D7D7
With a little bit more of innocence

  E minorEm            A augmentedA              D MajorD
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young

   F# minorF#m    D7D7   G+G
It's okay to be easily ignored

E minorEm             A7A7
I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child

G+G              D MajorD        F# minorF#m
It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce

      G+G                  D MajorD
I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes

   G+G               D MajorD        F# minorF#m
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age

     E minorEm
And they never check to see my grades

    A7A7
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now

D MajorD            F# minorF#m
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

    D7D7
With a little bit more of innocence

  E minorEm            A augmentedA              D MajorD
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young

   F# minorF#m     D7D7   G+G
It's okay to be easily ignored

E minorEm            A7A7          D MajorD
I'd love to believe it's all about love for a child

    A7A7
It was all about love...
