[Verse 1]
F#m A
If I were a dog, I wouldn't talk at all
D
I'd be loved for being silent
F#m
All I'd know be walls
D A
The world wouldn't scare me at all
Am7
And I'd grow up without the violence
F#m D A
Easiest of all, I could catch a ball
And it'd be the highlight of
Am7
the twelve years of my dog life
[Chorus]
D A
I would be so happy
E F#m
Unaware of the scary
I'd have a stick to carry
D A
I would be so happy
E
Wouldn't feel so heavy
F#m
And I'd have a stick to carry, I
D A E F#m
[Verse 2]
D A
I'd be two feet tall
E
and it wouldn't confuse me at all
When I don't recognize myself
F#m
in the mirror
D. A
And just with one small call
E
I'd know to run down the hall
F#m
I wouldn't be ashamed to eat my dinner
[Chorus]
D A
I would be so happy
E F#m
Unaware of the scary
I'd have a stick to carry
D A
I would be so happy
E
Wouldn't feel so heavy
F#m
And I'd have a stick to carry, I
D A E F#m
[Bridge]
F#m7 D
And if I were a dog
A
I'd have no school, no job
Am7
I would stay in my room
All afternoon
F#m7. D
I wouldn't think twice to eat
A
I wouldn't think twice to sleep
Am7
I'd go on a walk
F#m
And walk 'til I can't walk
[Chorus]
D
And I'd always be so happy
A
No baggage to bury
Am7
And I'd have a stick to carry, I
F#m7 D A E
[Outro]
F#m D
If I were a dog
A
I wouldn't have to belong
Am7
I wouldn't be alone
E F#m
I'd always be at home
D
And I'd always be so happy with
A
No baggage to bury
Am7
And I'd have a stick to carry, I
