Play an A chord for the intro

           A
There's a picture on my kitchen wall
            C#m
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
          Bm
There's a party getting started in the yard
          F#m
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
   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
    Bm
You hit your head and then forgot your name
              F#m
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
              E
And now your altitude and memory's a shame


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

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


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


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


Bm7
 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
         Bm7
With a little bit more of innocence
   A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
       Dm7
It's okay to be easily ignored

I'd love to believe it's all about
             A
love for a child
