There's a picture on my kitchen wall
Cm
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
FA#m
There's a party getting started in the yard
A#mC#mG#CmFm
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
A#mD#sus4D#
Was I too young to see this with my eyes?
G#
By the pool last night, apparently
Cm
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
FA#m
You hit your head and then forgot your name
A#mC#mG#CmFm
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
A#mD#sus4D#
And now your altitude and memory's a shame
G#A#m7Cm7A#m7
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
G#A#m7
With a little bit more of some innocence
Cm7A#m7G#
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young
C7C#C#m7
It's okay to be easily ignored
C#m7 (D D# F-walk-up notes on the G# string)
I like to believe it was all about
G#
love for a child
Cm
And when the house was left in shambles
FA#m
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
A#mC#mG#CmFm
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
A#mD#sus4D#
Well I'm far too old to care about that now

It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
F#A#mG#
I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
F#A#mG#Cm
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
F#
and they never check to see my grades

What a fool I'd be to start complaining now
