There's a party getting started in the yard

            Gm                          D                 F#m
There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive

The chemicals weren't mixed properly

You hit your head and then forgot your name

             Gm                            D      F#m
And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain

And now your altitude and memory's a shame

D                       F#m
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

         D7
With a little bit more of innocence

   Em                        A                           D
I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young

I like to believe it was all about love for a child

                                F#m
And when the house was left in shambles

                  D7                            G
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

         Em                              A

I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes

      G                              D               F#m
And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
