E            Abm                F#m         A
    He leans back, picks up his fork
E          Abm               F#m       A                           
    Looks nervous down at the pork, he search his pocket
E            Abm                 F#m            A
    hold my breath as knees hit the ground
E            Abm               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?

E Abm F#m A


E             Abm                   F#m         A
   I said I’d wait for you till the end
E              Abm         F#m              A
   But dear I never really knew, what that meant
E           Abm              F#m         A
   I never pictured the red Sedan
E        Abm               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!)
     A
  (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.


E              Abm                  F#m 
   I said I'd wait for you till the end
E              Abm            F#m          A 
   And dear I finally think I know what I meant
