Love For A Child Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][E][Am]
[Am][Cm][G][Bm][Em]
[Am][D]

[Verse 1]
There's a [G]picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like [Bm]Jesus and his friends involved
There's a [E]party getting started in the [Am]yard
And there's a couple getting
[Cm]steamy in the [G]car parked [Bm]in the dr[Em]ive
Was [Am]I too young to see this with my eyes?
[D]

[Verse 2]
And by the [G]pool last night, apparently
The [Bm]chemicals weren't mixed properly
You [E]hit your head and then forgot your [Am]name
And then you woke up
at the [Cm]bottom by the [G]drain[Bm][Em]
And now your [Am]altitude and memory's a shame
[D]

[Chorus 1]
[G]What about tak[Am]ing this
[Bm]empty cup and [Am]filling it up
With a [G]little bit more of [Am]innocence
I [Bm]haven't had enough,
it's [Am]probably because when you're [G]young
It's o[Ebdim7]kay to be easily[Em] ignored[F]
[C]I'd like to believe it
was all a[Eb]bout love for a [G]child

[Verse 3]
[G]And when the house was left in sha[Bm]mbles
Who was there to [E]handle
all the broken bits of [Am]glass
Was it mom who put my [Cm]dad
out on his [G]ass or the [Bm]other way a[Em]round
Well I'm [Am]far too old to care about that now
[D]

[Chorus 2]
[G]What about tak[Am]ing this
[Bm]empty cup and [Am]filling it up
With a [G]little bit more of [Am]innocence
I [Bm]haven't had enough,
it's [Am]probably because when you're [G]young
It's o[Ebdim7]kay to be easily[Em] ignored[F]
[C]I'd like to believe it
was all a[Eb]bout love for a [G]child

[Bridge 1]
[F]It's kinda nic[C]e to work the flo[G]or
since the di[Bm]vorce
I've been en[F]joying both my
[C]Christmases and my [G]birthday cakes
And [F]taking drugs and [C]making love
at [G]far too young an [Bm]age
And they [F]never check to see my grades
What a [D]fool I'd be to start

[Chorus 3]
complaining now
[G]What about tak[Am]ing this
[Bm]empty cup and [Am]filling it up
With a [G]little bit more of [Am]innocence
I [Bm]haven't had enough,
it's prob[Am]ably when [G]you're young
It's o[Ebdim7]kay to be easily[Em] ignored[F]
[C]I'd love to believe it
was all a[Eb]bout love for a [G]child
It was all a[Eb]bout [G]love
