There's a picture on my kitchen wall
Fm
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
A#D#m
There's a party getting started in the yard
D#mF#mC#FmA#m
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
D#mG#sus4G#
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?
C#
By the pool last night, apparently
Fm
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
A#D#m
You hit your head and then forgot your name
D#mF#mC#FmA#m
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
D#mG#sus4G#
And now your altitude and memory's a shame
C#D#m7Fm7D#m7
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
C#D#m7
With a little bit more of some innocence

I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
F7F#F#m7
It's okay to be easily ignored
F#m7 (D G# F-walk-up notes on the C# string)
I like to believe it was all about
C#
love for a child

And when the house was left in shambles
A#D#m
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
D#mF#mC#FmA#m
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
D#mG#sus4G#
Well I'm far too old to care about that now

It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
BD#mC#
I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
BD#mC#Fm
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
B
and they never check to see my grades
G#G#/B#C#
What a fool I'd be to start complaining now
