Original transcription by unmodisch, revised by Suuuupaadave. During the prechorus section you only play the partial F#m as listed first in the chords, then during the chorus you play the full one. Also, note that in the prechorus, the chord shape stays the same, while the bass note descends.

Verse 1
A                                                 G
I guess I was skeptical when I first met Dr. Martin
A
He said we could build a baby out of DNA
    D                                                         
And although it was expensive it was legal in the states
                A     G  D  A
where it wasn't banned
       E                          D                C
It was Betty who suggested we cut out the parts of me
               A    G  D  A
that she can't stand

Pre-chorus 1
   F#m         Aaug6/F        A6/E       D#m7b5   
So we made an appointment and Betty went alone
F#m                 Aaug6/F          A6/E             D#m7b5
They worked out the details and then called me on the phone
       Bm              E  E6 E7
To say congratulations Dad

Chorus
A                      E          D         A
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A                 E           D         A       F#m
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be taller
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be smarter
    B7                  Bm           E
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me

Verse 2
A                                            G
Betty was pretty firm about our baby being human
A
I said we should give him wings and nice prehensile tail
         D                                                        A     G   D   A
He could travel with the circus making money, making friends with clowns
E                                D                    C            A    G   D   A
Betty said that's stupid and for God's sake would you turn that TV down?

Pre-chorus 2
    F#m             Aaug6/F          A6/E            D#m7b5
Now I've seen Betty happy, but she's never been like this
    F#m                  Aug6/F            A6/E        D#m7b5 
She glows like someone's girlfriend in the middle of a kiss
    Bm          E  E6 E7
And I'm excited too

Chorus
A                      E          D         A
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A                 E           D         A       F#m
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be taller
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be smarter
    B7                  Bm           E
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me

Bridge
C                                      A
And the love inside me thunders like a storm
C                                       A
And I hope the tube they keep him in is comfortable and warm
C                                          D
I hope the nutritive solution that they're feeding him
                 E
doesn't make him fat

Verse 3
A                                                       G
Betty's been spending lots of time out late with Dr. Martin
A                
She says that they're working on the baby every night
        D                                                             A   G  D  A
And Dr. Martin brings her presents like new underwear and a bottle of wine
E                                  D                C           A  G  D  A
I'll just keep on writing checks until the day that baby is mine

Pre-chorus 3
F#m              Aaug6/F         A6/E           D#m7b5
He might have my moustache or my freckles or my eyes
F#m             Aaug6/F      A6/E         D#m7b5
Betty says it's better if we keep it a surprise
  Bm              E   E6 E7
I hope I find out soon 

Final Chorus
A                      E          D         A
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A                 E           D         A       F#m
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be taller
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be smarter
    B7                  Bm           E
And Betty says that our baby will be better than
Bm           E
Baby will be better than
Bm           E           A  G  D  A
Baby will be better than me.
