Children We Didn’t Have (cut Song From Beetlejuice) Tab par Themes

D A (Second fret for first two strings)
The children we didn’t have don’t call
D A G
Their heights aren’t marked in pencil on the wall
D A (You can play it either way!)
A D E F#7
They don’t ride bikes, cry out at night, or fall and graze a knee
E F
And their arms will never reach
D A D
For the mother I never got to be


D A (Second fret for first two strings)
The children we didn’t have press in
D A G
Remind me that we couldn’t just begin
D A
A D E F#7
They laugh on swings, whisper things I’m not supposed to know
E F
And they never stop to see
D A D
The mother that never was, that’s me


F D
Think about all the children we didn’t have
F G
Picture them playing in our life

D
Think of them deep in thought
A
Think of their face when their caught
Eb
Doing something naughty

D
Now picture them three or four
Em
Picture them walking out the door
Em6
Picture them twenty or thirty or forty


G Dm
Or maybe fifteen

D
You know who I mean

D A (Second fret for first two strings)
The daughter we didn’t have moved in
D A G
Smart and sad, uneasy in her skin
D A
A D E F#7
Far too young to lose a mom, or take the path she’s traveling on
E F
If I could whisper in her ear
D A D
I’d tell her, “Daughter we didn’t have, I’m here”
This is how it’s supposed to be spaced if that helps

I’m so sorry! This was spaced very poorly and I’m not sure how to fix it.
