Capo 2nd Fret (to match recording)

Intro: (E5) (E5) (E5) (E5) 

(E5) Sitting in a café talking to a lady
Having a discussion about (D5) S-E-(A5)X
In (E5) her early thirties she was talking kinda dirty
I was totally excited but a (D5) nervous (A5) wreck
(A) Then she said before we'd ever get to the mat
I'd have to (F#) walk her to the altar
What'd I (B) think about that?

  (A) Check Please! Quickly
  (E) How much do I owe, it's time for me to go
  (A) What she wants to do ain't on the menu
  So (F#) hey Maire D' snap (B) one two three, (E) check please

(D5) (A5) (E5) x 2

I called her up the next day said meet me in the café
Told her I was hasty could we try once more
Red wine, candlelight couldn't keep the subject light
It headed for the gutter like the night before
Then she leaned over and whispered with them drop dead lips
How's about we settle down and raise ten kids

Repeat Chorus

Solo: (A) (A) (E) (E) (A) (A) (F#) (B)  

     I'm in (A) control, I'm doing fine, I could (E) walk away at any time
     As a (A) matter of fact, I ain't never ever calling her (B) back

Back again the next night giving in to Miss Right
Taking her home to meet the Mom and Dad
Told her I would gladly wait for wedding bells to consummate
Even if those cold showers drove me mad
Then she gave me that "I want you right now" look with her eye
As her toe started climbing up my thigh

  (A) Check Please! Quickly
  (E) How much do we owe, it's time for us to go
  (A) What we want to do ain't on the menu
  So (F#) hey Maire D' snap (B) one two three
  (A) Check Please! Quickly
  (E) How much do we owe, it's time for us to go
  (A) What we want to do ain't on the menu
  So (F#) hey Maire D' snap (B) one two three, (E) check please
