🎶 Love For A Child

There's a [A]picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like [C#m]Jesus and his friends involved
There's a [F#]party getting started in the [Bm]yard
There's a [Bm]couple getting s [Dm]teamy in the c [A]ar parked [C#m]in the dr [F#m]ive
[Bm]Was I too young to see this with my [Esus4]eyes? [E]

By the [A]pool last night, apparently
The [C#m]chemicals weren't mixed properly
You [F#]hit your head and then forgot your [Bm]name
And then you w [Bm]oke up at the b [Dm]ottom by the dra [A]in [C#m] [F#m]
And now your [Bm]altitude and memory's a [Esus4]shame [E]

[A]What about [Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and [Bm7]filling it up
With a [A]little bit more of some [Bm7]innocence
I [C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're [A]young
It's ok [C#7]ay to be ea [D]sily ign [Dm7]ored
Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I like to believe it was all about
love for a [A]child

And when the house was left in [C#m]shambles
Who was there to [F#]handle all the broken bits of [Bm]glass
Was it [Bm]mom who put my [Dm]dad out on his [A]ass or the [C#m]other way [F#m]around
Well I'm [Bm]far too old to care about that [Esus4]now [E]

[A]What about [Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and [Bm7]filling it up
With a [A]little bit more of [Bm7]innocence
I [C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're [A]young
It's ok [C#7]ay to be ea [D]sily ign [Dm7]ored
Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I'd like to believe it was all about
love for a [A]child

[G] It's kinda n [Bm]ice to work the fl [A]oor since the div [C#m]orce
I've been enj [G]oying both my Chr [Bm]istmases and my birthday cak [A]es
And t [G]aking drugs and m [Bm]aking love at f [A]ar too young an [C#m]age
and they [G]never check to see my grades
What a f [E]ool I'd be to start comp [E/G#]laining no [A]w

[A]What about [Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and [Bm7]filling it up
With a [A]little bit more of [Bm7]innocence
I [C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're [A]young
It's ok [C#7]ay to be ea [D]sily ign [Dm7]ored
Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I'd love to believe it's all about
love for a [A]child
