Here we are at this impasse again
E Emaj7
the same old argument, the same old end
A Am
You're looking at me with those angry eyes
E Emaj7
You say, "Why, do you always have to be right?"
E
well let me tell you (spoken)
E Emaj7
Sittin’ there on the bus to school
E Emaj7
Little Sallie tellin' us that her poor old
A Am E Emaj7
dog had died and gone to Heav'n in the sky
E Emaj7
I turned around and told her that wasn't true
E Emaj7
It's just a story that your parents tell you to
A Am E Emaj7
hide the truth and I made her cry
A Am E
Because I've always had to be right
F#m B
This is not just a random event
F#m B
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
F#m B
I can't just forgive and forget
A B
Yeah I've always had to be right

E Emaj7
my sister broke a vase I got pinned with her
A Am E Emaj7
crime, my mother thought that I lied
E Emaj7
So she held a bar of soap to my mouth
E Emaj7
told me she was going to wash the lies out
A Am E Emaj7
but out of spite I took a bite
A Am E
Because I've always had to be right
F#m B
This is not just a random event
F#m B
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
F#m B
I can't just forgive and forget
A B
Yeah I've always had to be right

E Emaj7
Just because I'm no longer a kid
E Emaj7
doesn't mean I won't do those things that I
A Am E Emaj7
did back then, so don't be surprised
A Am E Emaj7
If I always have to be right
A Am E
Because I have always had to be right
F#m B
This is not just a random event
F#m B
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
F#m B
I can't just forgive and forget
A B
Yeah I've always
N.C.
had to be right
