Work in Progress by Alan Jackson, cd: Drive

E

Okay, I forgot about the trash

A

I didn't trim the long hairs on my mustache

E B

I did by you a ring, I believe it was back in '93

E

Alright I admit, I forgot our anniversary

A

I did pick up the baby, this mornin' at the nursery

E B E slide E to F# up to an

A

That ain't no big thing, but 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

B

I swear one day you'll have a brand new car

A

I even ask the Lord to try to help me

E A

He looked down from heaven and said to tell you please

E B 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 getting' all dressed up

E B

Just to go to Shoney's, on a Wednesday night

E

I read that book you gave me 'bout Mars and Venus

A

I think it's sinkin' in but I probably need to reread it

E B E

But I'm startin' to see now...what you been sayin' is right

-------------

Chorus, break.

-------------

E

I know you meant well when you bought me them clogs,

A

But my heals get hot down by the mufflers on my hog

E B

I'm sure they're stylish, but I'll take my boots

E

And I've tried to do that health thing like ya want me ta do

A

But that low fat and no fat's getting hard to chew

E B E

I love your cooking honey but..sometimes, I need some real food...chorus
