Love For A Child Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][E][Am]
[Cm][G][Em][Am][Dsus4][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
There's a couple getting [Cm]steamy
in the [G]car parked [Bm]in t[Em]he drive
Was [Am]I too young to see
this with my eye[Dsus4]s?[D]

[Verse 2]
By the [G]pool last night, apparently
The [Bm]chemicals weren't mixed properly
You [E]hit your head and then
forgot your name
[Am]And then you woke up at the bot
[Cm]tom by the d[G]rain[Bm][Em]
And now your [Am]altitude and memory's
[Dsus4]a shame[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]What about tak[Am]ing this emp[Bm]ty
cup and [Am]filling it up
With a [G]little bit more [Am]of innocence
I [Bm]haven't had enough,
it's [Am]probably because when you're [G]young
It's [Ebdim]okay to be easi[Em]ly igno[F]red
[C]I like to believe it was all[Eb]
about love for a child
[G]

[Verse 4]
And when the house was
left [Bm]in shambles
Who was there [E]to handle all
the broken bits of [Am]glass
Was it mom who put my [Cm]dad out on his as
[G]s or the o[Bm]ther way a[Em]round
Well I'm [Am]far too old to care
about that [Dsus4]now[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]What about tak[Am]ing this emp[Bm]ty
cup and [Am]filling it up
With a [G]little bit more [Am]of innocence
I [Bm]haven't had enough,
it's [Am]probably because when [G]you're young
[Ebdim]It's okay to be [Em]easily [F]ignored
[C]I like to believe it was all[Eb]
about love for [G]a child

[Verse 6]
[F]It's kinda nic[C]e to work
[G]the floor since the divorce
[Bm]I've been enjoying b[F]oth my
[Am]Christmases and my [G]birthday cakes
And [F]taking drugs and [C]making love
at [G]far too young [Bm]an age
And they [F]never check to see my grades
What a [D]fool I'd be to

[Verse 7]
start complaining now
[G]What about tak[Am]ing this emp[Bm]ty
cup and [Am]filling it up
With a [G]little bit more [Am]of innocence
I [Bm]haven't had enough,
it's probably be[Am]cause when [G]you're young
It's [Ebdim]okay to be easi[Em]ly ig n[F]ored
[C]I like to believe it was all[Eb]
about love for [G]a child
It was [Eb]all about

[Verse 8]
[G]love
