Intro:

E G# A A

E G#m F#m A

He leans back, picks up his fork

E G#m F#m A

Looks nervous down at the pork, he search his pocket

E G#m F#m A

hold my breath as knees hit the ground

E G#m F#m A

he bends down pick up his sock, and this is how it sounds

E G# A A

Would you check out my old shoes

E G# A A

your cooking is way too good, not something to throw away

E G# A A

Would you do me the honor to do the dish

E G# A

And honey tomorrow, what about fish?

(Lady, you wish)

E G#m F#m A

I said I’d wait for you till the end

E G#m F#m A

But dear I never really knew, what that meant

E G#m F#m A

I never pictured the red Sedan

E G#m F#m A

Housekeeping instead of law, and you going on about

E G# A A

Those big old holes in those damn shoes

E G# A A

And how my cooking is too good, for you to throw away

E G# A A

I keep doing you the honor taking the dish

E G# A

And honey tomorrow, (do your own fucking fish!)

(Lady, you wish)

E G# A A E G# A A

(I can always wish) (m-m)

A E G# A

the same old song the same routine, kid, house and dog

A E G#

then he hands me a box, said here's the deal:

E G A A

(Oh)Please marry this old shoe

E G# A A

Your cooking is so darn good, let me have a bite on my last day

E G# A A

Would do me the honor? He asked with a kiss

E G# A

Honey let it wait, forget that fish

A E G# A

Lady, you're my wish

A E G# A

My one final wish

A E G# A

The single wish I have- -mmmmhm
