🎶 Love For A Child

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

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

[Bbm]What about [Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and [Bm7]filling it up
With a [Bbm]little bit more of some [Bm7]innocence
I [C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're [Bbm]young
It's ok [C#7]ay to be ea [Cb]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 [Bbm]child

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

[Bbm]What about [Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and [Bm7]filling it up
With a [Bbm]little bit more of [Bm7]innocence
I [C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're [Bbm]young
It's ok [C#7]ay to be ea [Cb]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 [Bbm]child

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