Love For a Child
Jason Mraz

C There's a picture on my kitchen wall Em Looks like Jesus and his friends involved A Dm There's a party getting started in the yard Dm Fm C Em Am There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive Dm Gsus4 G Was I too young to see this with my eyes? C By the pool last night, apparently Em The chemicals weren't mixed properly A Dm You hit your head and then forgot your name Dm Fm C Em Am And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain Dm Gsus4 G And now your altitude and memory's a shame C Dm7 Em7 Dm7 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up C Dm7 With a little bit more of some innocence Em7 Dm7 C I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young E7 F Fm7 It's okay to be easily ignored Fm7 (D G F-walk-up notes on the C string) I like to believe it was all about C love for a child Em And when the house was left in shambles A Dm Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass Dm Fm C Em Am Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around Dm Gsus4 G Well I'm far too old to care about that now C Dm7 Em7 Dm7 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up C Dm7 With a little bit more of innocence Em7 Dm7 C I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young E7 F Fm7 It's okay to be easily ignored Fm7 (D G F-walk-up notes on the C string) I'd like to believe it was all about C love for a child A# Dm C Em It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce A# Dm C I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes A# Dm C Em And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age A# and they never check to see my grades G G/A## C What a fool I'd be to start complaining now C Dm7 Em7 Dm7 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up C Dm7 With a little bit more of innocence Em7 Dm7 C I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young E7 F Fm7 It's okay to be easily ignored Fm7 (D G F-walk-up notes on the C string) I'd love to believe it's all about C love for a child ( F G G# C ) C It was all about love...
