If I was your old man and you were my missus

at the word pregnancy maybe matches better E... maybe
+5
100% the B should be E
I'd make a couple other tweaks:
- the first D in the [Chorus] lines should be Bm7 (including [Chorus 4])
- the Em in the [Verse] parts should be a G (I think, less sure on that one)
- The "how I love those evening classes" has a couple more changes, I think (extra G's): G/D/Em/G/C/G/D
+1
