Love For a Child
Jason Mraz

A# There's a picture on my kitchen wall Dm Looks like Jesus and his friends involved G Cm There's a party getting started in the yard Cm D#m A# Dm Gm There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive Cm Fsus4 F Was I too young to see this with my eyes? A# By the pool last night, apparently Dm The chemicals weren't mixed properly G Cm You hit your head and then forgot your name Cm D#m A# Dm Gm And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain Cm Fsus4 F And now your altitude and memory's a shame A# Cm7 Dm7 Cm7 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up A# Cm7 With a little bit more of some innocence Dm7 Cm7 A# I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young D7 D# D#m7 It's okay to be easily ignored D#m7 (D F F-walk-up notes on the A# string) I like to believe it was all about A# love for a child Dm And when the house was left in shambles G Cm Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass Cm D#m A# Dm Gm Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around Cm Fsus4 F Well I'm far too old to care about that now A# Cm7 Dm7 Cm7 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up A# Cm7 With a little bit more of innocence Dm7 Cm7 A# I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young D7 D# D#m7 It's okay to be easily ignored D#m7 (D F F-walk-up notes on the A# string) I'd like to believe it was all about A# love for a child G# Cm A# Dm It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce G# Cm A# I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes G# Cm A# Dm And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age G# and they never check to see my grades F F/G## A# What a fool I'd be to start complaining now A# Cm7 Dm7 Cm7 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up A# Cm7 With a little bit more of innocence Dm7 Cm7 A# I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young D7 D# D#m7 It's okay to be easily ignored D#m7 (D F F-walk-up notes on the A# string) I'd love to believe it's all about A# love for a child ( D# F F# A# ) A# It was all about love...
