Play an A chord for the intro

           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
         A (x02220@1)                    Bm7 (x20202@1)     
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
