Play an A chord for the intro

There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
There’s a party getting started in the yard
There’s a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?

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

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
love for a child

nd 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

C#7 D Dm7

Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I’d like to believe it was all about
love for a child

It’s kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
I’ve been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
nd taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
and they never check to see my grades
What a fool I’d be to start complaining now
