A There's a picture on my kitchen wall C#m Looks like Jesus and his friends involved F# Bm There's a party getting started in the yard Bm Dm A C#m F#m There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive Bm Esus4 E Was I too young to see this with my eyes? By the pool last night, apparently The chemicals weren't mixed properly You hit your head and then forgot your name And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain And now your altitude and memory's a shame Chorus: A Bm7 C#m7 Bm7 What about taking this empty cup and filling it up A Bm7 With a little bit more of some innocence C#m7 Bm7 A I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young C#7 D Dm7 It's okay to be easily ignored Dm7 I like to believe it was all about A love for a child And when the house was left in shambles Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around Well I'm far too old to care about that now Chorus G Bm A C#m It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce G Bm A I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes G Bm A C#m And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age G and they never check to see my grades E E/G# A What a fool I'd be to start complaining now Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  C#7  C#m7  D  Dm  Dm7  E  Esus4  F#  F#m  G  G#  Bm  Bm7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
