Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Eb Db Ab Bb

ADAM:
              Eb
Look at this crib
              Bbm
In all of its glorious antiquary
      Ab
Every curve and surface speaks to me
       Db
Saying pamper and spoil me
C           Bb
Sand me and oil me
     Eb
Come on
                Cm
I know to the untrained eye it's boring
                 Ab
But nothing's a chore when you're restoring
                Db
Apart from frustration, pain, and financial drain
      Cm
It's fun!

Folks say Adam
    Gm
Why do you polish your crib when you don't have a kid?

And even if you did have a kid,
      Fm
This crib is too precious for placing a baby inside it

So it simply exists to remind you
      Ab
Your sense of perfection is just a reflection that
Bb                                                Cm
you are not mentally prepared to make room for a kid
                     Eb
Adam, why don't you live?
                   F
Adam, just make a start
                                      Fm
Are you willing to take the next step?

Ready, set...
               A7
Ready, set...

BARBARA:
               D
Look at these jugs!
           A7
Amazingly glazed and terracotta-ery
             G
I took some clay and made you pottery
    C
The world will never wreck you
                                  Bm
I'll protect you in a mother's embrace

Folks say, Barbara
F#m
Why can't you see that ceramics is

simply a manifestation of motherly panic
   Em
By making a baby that's breakable

Aren't you creating a way of translating the
          G
terror of making maternal mistakes into clay
A                                                 Bm
Hiding away so you don't have to face being a bad mom

Barbara
                   D
That's what you've done, Barbara
             E
Just make a start

Are you willing to take the next step?

Ready, set...

BOTH:

A
Here we stand
                 F#m
At the end of a 10-year plan
  D
A house, a yard, a minivan
A
A baby should be next

Together let's leap off the cliff
                    B
Fall forever, then smash to bits
              D
Trapped in a terrifying viper pit

Of diapers and regret
       Bm                                 E
Are we willing to take the next step?

Ready, set...

Ready, set...

ADAM:

    Em              G
The wi-fi should be faster

BARBARA:

      Em
This sofa needs a castor

ADAM:

BARBARA:

     C
What about global poverty?

ADAM:

What about world peace?

BARBARA:

                 G
Then there's the whole darn economy

ADAM:

The whole Middle East

BARBARA:

          Bb
We should learn Mandarin

ADAM:

Yeah!

Or Spanish at least.

BOTH:

   Ab
No habla español
         G         Em
Dos cervezas por favor
                  F
And that's all we got

And that's not a lot
              Eb                    Bb
Do we want a bilingual household or not?
   Cm
So let's go slow
   F
No breaking a sweat
           Cm
What's the point of having children
          F
If we're covered in debt?

BARBARA:

          Cm
Now we're totally

ADAM:

   Eb
Completely

BARBARA:

      Gb
Maybe eighty percent

ADAM:

         Ab
I'd say seventy-eight
