E
Okay, I forgot about the trash,
  A
I didn't trim the long hairs on my moustache.
E                                             B7
I did buy you a ring I believe it was back in ninety-three.
  E
Alright, I admit it I forgot our anniversary.
  A
I did pick up the baby this morning at the nursery.
              E         B7                   E
That ain't no big thing It's a gold star for me.

Chorus:
A
You get tired and disgusted with me,
E
When I can't be just what you want me to be.
A
I still love you and I try real hard,
F#                            B7
I swear one day you'll have a brand new car.
A
I even asked the Lord to try to help me,
E                                  A
He looked down from Heaven said to tell you please.
        E        B7            E
Just be patient, I'm a work in progress.


E
I'm sorry I got mad, waitin' in the truck
A
It seemed like hours, you gettin' all dressed up,
              E                            B7
Just to go to Shoney's on a Wednesday night.
  E                      
I read that book you gave me about Mars and Venus,
A
I think it's sinkin' in but I probably need to re-read it.
        E                    B7                      E
But I'm starting to see now, what you been saying is right.

Sing Chorus
E
I know you meant well when you bought me those clogs,
       A
But my heels get hot down by the muffler on my hog.
         E                                 B7
I'm sure they're stylish, but I'll take my boots.
  E
I try to do that health thing like you want me to do,
     A
That lowfat, no fat's gettin' hard to chew.
                 E
Now, I love your cookin' honey,
    B7                     E
But sometimes, I need some real food.

Sing Chorus

E
Oh honey, just be patient now, 
B7            E
I'm a work in progress.
