Love for a Child Jason Mraz
Jason Mraz
We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things
Play an A chord for the intro
There's a p[A]icture on my kitchen wall
Looks like J[C#m]esus 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
Was[Bm] I too young to see this with my [Esus4]eyes?[E]
By the p[A]ool last night, apparently
The c[C#m]hemicals weren't mixed properly
You [F#]hit your head and then forgot your n[Bm]ame
And then you w[Bm]oke up at the b[Dm]ottom by the dra[A]in[C#m] [F#m]
And now your a[Bm]ltitude and memory's a s[Esus4]hame[E]
[A] What about t[Bm7]aking this [C#m7]empty cup and f[Bm7]illing it up
With a li[A]ttle bit more of some i[Bm7]nnocence
I h[C#m7]aven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're yo[A]ung
It's ok[C#7]ay to be ea[D]sily ign[Dm7]ored
Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I like to believe it was all about
love for a ch[A]ild
And when the house was left in [C#m]shambles
Who was there to han[F#]dle all the broken bits of g[Bm]lass
Was it [Bm]mom who put my [Dm]dad out on his a[A]ss or the [C#m]other way a[F#m]round
Well I'm [Bm]far too old to care about that n[Esus4]ow[E]
[A] What about t[Bm7]aking this [C#m7]empty cup and f[Bm7]illing it up
With a li[A]ttle bit more of innoce[Bm7]nce
I h[C#m7]aven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're yo[A]ung
It's ok[C#7]ay to be ea[D]sily ign[Dm7]ored
Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I'd like to believe it was all about
love for a ch[A]ild
[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 n[G]ever check to see my grades
What a f[E]ool I'd be to start comp[E/G#]laining no[A]w
[A] What about t[Bm7]aking this [C#m7]empty cup and f[Bm7]illing it up
With a li[A]ttle bit more of innoce[Bm7]nce
I h[C#m7]aven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're yo[A]ung
It's ok[C#7]ay to be ea[D]sily ign[Dm7]ored
Dm7 (D E F-walk-up notes on the A string)
I'd love to believe it's all about
love for a ch[A]ild
(D E F-walk-up notes on the A string) A
It was all about love...
