Miniature Soccer Team

  C


  C
A year ago today,
                                      G
My brother convinced a girl to say "I do".

And that girl was you.



    C
But Sarah, I've got to warn you,

I don't think you know just what you swore to.
       G
You'll see,

What I mean.



   F                               G
Oh nothin' in the world could ever stop John Green,
     C
From achieving his one unmatchable dream.
        F                        G
I don't think that he would even stop at 19.
         C                    F
He wants two entire miniature soccer teams
     C
From you.

From your womb.



C
11 on each side;

Co-ed teams would be just fine.
   G
As long,

as you don't take long.



C
44 little tiny baby cleats

Tied onto 44 baby feets
   G
So cute.

In their little Umbro suits.



         F                              G
Well I'm glad you think that you're the luckiest girl,
   C
In Indianapolis and all of the world.
    F                      G
But I wouldn't think you'd be too keen,
   C                    F
On birthing a miniature soccer team,
    C
For him.

All for him.




C
It might sound inhumane,

It might sound like a lot of pain.
           G
Unless you opt

To adopt.



C
But John would probably just call me a cynic,

I think he's already called fertility clinics.
     G
He's serious

About this.



   F          G
Oh 22 kids is probably more
       C
Than a middle-class family like you can afford.
    F                             G
But nothing in the world is gonna stop John Green,
     C                    F
From seeing his miniature soccer team,
   C
At play.

Oh, all day.



C
Sarah I have to warn you,
                                         G
Warn you about what you've sworn to John Green,
                   C
Is a baby makin' machine.
