       LEAD-IN:  ( Em E ) ( D D7 ) ( E7 D7 )  A   A

CHORUS:
           A
    What a guy's gotta do
           A
    to win time with you
         ( C#m7        A7 )    E7
1. is like racin' on a crooked course,
2. is like ridin' some losin'  horse,
           E
 where the kids come first,
           E
   runnin' right ahead of work,
           E7                       A
  and your parents finish third and fourth.
           A        
   I gotta see ya, darlin',
           A
    got me breathin' hard,
         ( C#m7     A7 )     D
     but I fear I'm startin' slow,
         ( Em         E )
 stumblin' out of the gate
         ( D           D7 )
   in this fixed horse race
         ( E7           D7 )           A        A7
   I don't win, I don't place, I don't show.

           D                      D
  Well I'm comin' in from pickin' up our son
           A                           A
      afer practice, an' I hope you're free,
           E                              E
but you're headed out the door to get our daughter to soccer
           D                      A
  and your parents to their therapy.
           F#m                         F#m7
    So I'm wonderin' whether we'll get time together
           D                 B7
     after everyone else is asleep;
           E                            D
  when you start in makin' calls, sellin' tickets to the ball,
           E                 E       E
   raisin' dollars for charity.

CHORUS

   I gotta say this situation doesn't meet the expectations
    I'd created for married life.
    So I'm doin' what I gotta just to get some time to talk
ya know Im gonna hafta stalk my own wife.
   I'll be callin for a date pretendin' I'm the PTA
  an' if I need 'em I got even more tricks,
   I'll be sharin' rides to work, I'll be showin' up in church,
      even chaperonin' school field trips.

CHORUS
