There's a picture on my kitchen wall
Dbm
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
F#                           Bm
There's a party getting started in the yard
Bm              Dm            A        Dbm       F#m
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?


By the pool last night, apparently
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
You hit your head and then forgot your name
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
And now your altitude and memory's a shame


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
I like to believe it was all about
A
love for a child


Dbm
And when the house was left in shambles
F#                          Bm
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
Bm             Dm              A         Dbm        F#m
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


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


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/E      A
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now


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

It was all about love...
