[Intro]

A

[Verse]

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

[Verse 2]

            A
By the pool last night, apparently
          C#m
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
        F#                                                      Bm
You hit your head and then forgot your name
                      Bm                       Dm                 A      C#m      F#m
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
                       Bm                                    Esus4       E
And now your altitude and memory's a shame

[Chorus]

A                 Bm7             C#m7                Bm7
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
            A                                     Bm7
With a little bit more of some innocence
   C#m7                                Bm7                                          A
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
       C#7             D        Dm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
                                      Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I like to believe it was all about
                  A
love for a child

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]
