Intro: Bb | Dm | G7 | Cm | Cm Cm Ebm Ebmadd9
Bb Dm7/A Gm Gm | Cm Cm7 | Fsus4 F

Bb
There's a picture on my kitchen wall
Dm
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved,
G7 Cm
There's a party getting started in the yard,
Ebm Ebmadd9 Bb Dm7/A Gm
And there's a couple getting steamy in the car, parked in the drive.
Cm Cm7 Fsus4 F
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?

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

Chorus:
Bb Cm7 Dm7 Cm7
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
Bb Cm7
With a little bit more of innocence
Dm7 Cm7 Bb
I haven't had enough; it's probably because when you're young
F#dim7 Gm Ab
It's okay to be easily ignored.
Eb F F# Bb
I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child.

When the house was
Left in shambles,
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass?
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around?
Well I'm far too old to care about that now.

Chorus:

Ab Eb/G Bb Dm
It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce,
Ab Cm Bb
I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
Ab Eb/G Bb Dm
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
Ab
And they never checked to see my grades
F F/A F Bb
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now.

Chorus

Eb F F# Bb
It was all about love.
