Love For A Child

	  		
           A  
There's a picture on my kitchen wall  
            C#m  
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved  
          F#m                           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?  

        A  
By the pool last night, apparently  
     C#m  
The chemicals weren't mixed properly  
    F#m                                  Bm  
You hit your head and then forgot your name  
              Bm             Dm              A     C#m    F#m  
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain  
              Bm                      Esus4    E  
And now your altitude and memory's a shame  


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                       (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)  
I like to believe it was all about  
             A   
love for a child  

                               C#m  
And when the house was left in shambles  
                    F#m                          Bm  
Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass  
       Bm             Dm              A         C#m        F#m  
Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around  
         Bm                              Esus4   E  
Well I'm far too old to care about that now  


A            Bm7        C#m7           Bm7

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  


A            Bm7        C#m7           Bm7

It was all about love...
