[VERSE 1]
[F]She tried to push him away
With a ten foot [C]pole
Saying, "[Bb]I'm just a crusty old [C]doughnut
Without any [F]hole"
Weary and bewildered bachelor
How could he [C]know
[Bb]She'd move her suitcase to [C]his place
A [F]year ago
[VERSE 2]
[G]There he stood in the doorway
No clothes [C]wearing
[G]Asking permission to give all his
[C]Love and his caring
Love and care
[VERSE 3]
Theirs is a real thing
A dish in the [F]sink
A dog in the [C]stairwell
Making a [F]stink
They got a [E7]true [F]love
[G]So real you [F]can feel [C]it [F] [C]
[VERSE 4]
For [F]Christmas he gave her
A silver and gold [C]Jewish star
He [Bb]put it on top of the [C]tree
And said, "There you [F]are"
She giggled and cried
And rolled on the living room [C]floor
And [Bb]laughed at all of his [C]jokes
So he told her some [F]more
[VERSE 5]
[G]There he stood in the doorway
Crumpled and [C]daring
[G]Asking permission to give all his
Love and his [C]caring
Love and care
[VERSE 6]
Theirs is a real thing
A working man's [F]shoe
Worn through at the [C]sole
As good as [F]new
They got a [E7]true [F]love
[G]So real you [F]can feel [C]it [F] [C]
[BRIDGE]
[D]Five o'clock by the window pane, watching the rain [Bb]
New Yo[F]rk city [C]blues [D]
Oh, the rain's coming down hard, it's dark out there [Bb]
You gotta have [F]something to [C]do
[VERSE 7]
So [F]one day she said, "I must go to Alaska this [C]winter"
He [Bb]yelled and kicked the [C]table
His toe got a [G]splinter
[F]Still he escorted her up to the gate at the [C]airport
Saying, "[Bb]Damn it, I don't under[C]stand what you have to go [F]there for"
[VERSE 8]
[G]Calendar pages were flipping
He stayed home [C]waiting
Saying, "[G]Oh, this woman I love is
So irri[C]ta[F]ti[C]ng[F]" [C]
[VERSE 9]
Theirs is a real thing
A welcome home [F]kiss
The smell of his [C]whiskers
That she did [F]miss
They got a [E7]true [F]love
[G]So real you [F]can feel [C]it
[F]She tried to push him away
