D
There's a picture on my kitchen wall
 
            F#m
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
 
           D7                           G
There's a party getting started in the yard
 
            Gm                          D                 F#m
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
 
    Em                               A
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?
 
        D
By the pool last night, apparently
 
      F#m
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
 
    D7                                 G
You hit your head and then forgot your name
 
             Gm                            D      F#m
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
 
               Em                     A
And now your altitude and memory's a shame
 
D                       F#m
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
 
         D7
With a little bit more of innocence
 
   Em                        A                           D
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
 
     F#m         D7      G
It's okay to be easily ignored
 
Em                        A7                  D
I like to believe it was all about love for a child
 
                                F#m
And when the house was left in shambles
 
                  D7                            G
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
 
       Gm                            D                     F#m
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
 
         Em                              A
Well I'm far too old to care about that now
 
D                       F#m
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
 
        D7
With a little bit more of innocence
 
   Em                       A                            D
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
 
      F#m        D7     G
It's okay to be easily ignored
 
Em                         A7
I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child
 
G                            D               F#m
It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
 
            G                                   D
I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
 
      G                              D               F#m
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
 
          Em
And they never check to see my grades
 
        A7
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now
 
D                       F#m
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
 
        D7
With a little bit more of innocence
 
    Em                       A                           D

       A7
It was all about love...
