Love For a Child
Jason Mraz

D There's a picture on my kitchen wall F#m Looks like Jesus and his friends involved B Em There's a party getting started in the yard Em Gm D F#m Bm There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive Em Asus4 A Was I too young to see this with my eyes? D By the pool last night, apparently F#m The chemicals weren't mixed properly B Em You hit your head and then forgot your name Em Gm D F#m Bm And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain Em Asus4 A And now your altitude and memory's a shame D Em7 F#m7 Em7 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up D Em7 With a little bit more of some innocence F#m7 Em7 D I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young F#7 G Gm7 It's okay to be easily ignored Gm7 (D A F-walk-up notes on the D string) I like to believe it was all about D love for a child F#m And when the house was left in shambles B Em Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass Em Gm D F#m Bm Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around Em Asus4 A Well I'm far too old to care about that now D Em7 F#m7 Em7 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up D Em7 With a little bit more of innocence F#m7 Em7 D I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young F#7 G Gm7 It's okay to be easily ignored Gm7 (D A F-walk-up notes on the D string) I'd like to believe it was all about D love for a child C Em D F#m It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce C Em D I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes C Em D F#m And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age C and they never check to see my grades A A/C# D What a fool I'd be to start complaining now D Em7 F#m7 Em7 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up D Em7 With a little bit more of innocence F#m7 Em7 D I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young F#7 G Gm7 It's okay to be easily ignored Gm7 (D A F-walk-up notes on the D string) I'd love to believe it's all about D love for a child ( G A A# D ) D It was all about love...
