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