Verse 1:
Em
Okay, I forgot about the trash,
A
I didn't trim the long hairs on my moustache.
Em                                              B
I did buy you a ring; I believe it was back in '93.
Em
Alright, I admit it; I forgot our anniversary.
A
I did pick up the baby this morning at the nursery.
Em                       B                    Em
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#m                              B               rundown to A
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                B                  E
Just be patient, I'm a work in progress.

Repeat Intro 1x

Verse 2:
Em
I'm sorry I got mad, waitin' in the truck;
A
It seemed like hours, you gettin' all dressed up,
Em                                           B
Just to go to Shoney's on a Wednesday night.
Em
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,
Em                                         B         Em
But I'm starting to see now, what you been saying is right.

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental Break

Verse 3:
Em
I know you meant well when you bought me those clogs,
A
But my heels get hot down by the muffler on my hog.
Em                                         B
I'm sure they're stylish, but I'll take my boots.
Em
I try to do that health thing like you want me to do,
A
That low-fat, no fat's gettin' hard to chew.
Em
Now, I love your cookin', honey,
    B                            Em
But sometimes, I need some real food.

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

Repeat Intro til fade

Oh, I need a major tune up.
Maybe a full, body-off, restoration.
