AThere's (x02220@1)a picture on my kitchen wall
C#mLooks (x13321@4)like Jesus and his friends involved
F# (244322@1) BmThere's (x24432@1)a party getting started in the yard
Bm (x24432@1) Dm (xx0231@1) A (x02220@1) C#m (x13321@4) F#mThere's (244222@1)a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
Bm (x24432@1) Esus4 (022200@1) EWas (022100@1)I too young to see this with my eyes?
ABy (x02220@1)the pool last night, apparently
C#mThe (x13321@4)chemicals weren't mixed properly
F# (244322@1) BmYou (x24432@1)hit your head and then forgot your name
Bm (x24432@1) Dm (xx0231@1) A (x02220@1) C#m (x13321@4) F#mAnd (244222@1)then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
Bm (x24432@1) Esus4 (022200@1) EAnd (022100@1)now your altitude and memory's a shame
A (x02220@1) Bm7 (x20202@1) C#m7 (x4242x@1) Bm7 (x20202@1)What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

With a little bit more of some innocence
C#m7 (x4242x@1) Bm7 (x20202@1) AI (x02220@1)haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
C#7 (x4342x@1) D (xx0232@1) Dm7
It's okay to be easily ignored
Dm7 (D EF-walk-up (022100@1)notes on the Astring) (x02220@1)I like to believe it was all about
A (x02220@1)love for a child
C#mAnd (x13321@4)when the house was left in shambles
F# (244322@1) BmWho (x24432@1)was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
Bm (x24432@1) Dm (xx0231@1) A (x02220@1) C#m (x13321@4) F#mWas (244222@1)it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
Bm (x24432@1) Esus4 (022200@1) EWell (022100@1)I'm far too old to care about that now
A (x02220@1) Bm7 (x20202@1) C#m7 (x4242x@1) Bm7 (x20202@1)What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

Alove (x02220@1)for a child
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) C#m (x13321@4) It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) AI've (x02220@1)been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) C#mAnd (x13321@4)taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
Gand (320003@1)they never check to see my grades
E (022100@1) E/G# (143121@4) AWhat (x02220@1)a fool I'd be to start complaining now
A (x02220@1) Bm7 (x20202@1) C#m7 (x4242x@1) Bm7 (x20202@1)What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
