Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G     E    C  D
G A D  G  D


Verse 1:
     G
I'm tired of conversations with my friends and family
      C                 G              A                D
About what I think the future holds for my best girl and me
   G                                            E
I fully understand exactly what they're driving at
          C            G              D                   G
And unfortunately my answer tends to leave them somewhat flat

Pre-Chorus:
     A                            D
Unsubtle hints are met with awkwardness
       A                        D
So I feel I am required to confess


Chorus:
             G
I don't want kids
            C
I just want pets
             A                     D
I can't foresee that this will be one of my great regrets
               G
Your kids are fine
                   A
Cause they're not mine
         C                  D                 G
To me a life lived without children sounds divine!


Solo:
D G D


Verse 2:
    G
I tried to make excuses when folks arrive with their baby
         C               G                 A             D
There's nothing I dread more than someone handing it to me
 G                                                E
But declining offers to have them rested on your knee
 C            G             D          G
Makes one a pariah within polite society


Pre-Chorus:
     A                            D
The room looks round with eyes of pure dismay
       A                        D
And no one will believe it when you say...


Chorus:
             G
I don't want kids (I don't want kids!)
            C
I just want pets (I just want pets!)
             A                     D
I can't foresee that this will be one of my great regrets
               G
Your kids are fine (Your kids are fine!)
                   A
'Cause they're not mine ('Cause they're not mine!)
         C                  D                 G
To me a life lived without children sounds divine


Solo:
D G D


Bridge:
C                       G
I know children can be fun
     D                              G
And yours I'm very fond of, it is true
       C                G
The advantage is that when I grow weary of their noise
         A                 D
I can direct them back to you

                   A
'Cause they're not mine ('Cause they're not mine!)
         C                  D                 G
To me a life lived without children sounds divine
