Love For A Child

Intro [A]

There's a [A]picture on my kitchen wall

Looks like [C#m]Jesus and his friends involved

There's a [F#]party getting started in the [Bm]yard

There's a [Bm]couple getting s [Dm]teamy in the c [A]ar parked [C#m]in the dr [F#m]ive

[Bm]Was I too young to see this with my [Esus4]eyes? [E]

 

By the [A]pool last night, apparently

The [C#m]chemicals weren't mixed properly

You [F#]hit your head and then forgot your [Bm]name

And then you w [Bm]oke up at the b [Dm]ottom by the dra [A]in [C#m] [F#m]

And now your [Bm]altitude and memory's a [Esus4]shame [E]

 

[A]What about [Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and [Bm7]filling it up

With a [A]little bit more of some [Bm7]innocence

I [C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're [A]young

It's ok [C#7]ay to be ea [D]sily ign [Dm7]ored

 

love for a [A]child

 

And when the house was left in [C#m]shambles

Who was there to [F#]handle all the broken bits of [Bm]glass

Was it [Bm]mom who put my [Dm]dad out on his [A]ass or the [C#m]other way [F#m]around

Well I'm [Bm]far too old to care about that [Esus4]now [E]

[G] It's kinda n [Bm]ice to work the fl [A]oor since the div [C#m]orce

I've been enj [G]oying both my Chr [Bm]istmases and my birthday cak [A]es

And t [G]aking drugs and m [Bm]aking love at f [A]ar too young an [C#m]age

and they [G]never check to see my grades

What a f [E]ool I'd be to start comp [E/G#]laining no [A]w
