Here we are at this impasse again
C# C#maj7
the same old argument, the same old end
F# F#m
You're looking at me with those angry eyes
C# C#maj7
You say, "Why, do you always have to be right?"
C#
well let me tell you (spoken)
C# C#maj7
Sittin’ there on the bus to school
C# C#maj7
Little Sallie tellin' us that her poor old
F# F#m C# C#maj7
dog had died and gone to Heav'n in the sky
C# C#maj7
I turned around and told her that wasn't true
C# C#maj7
It's just a story that your parents tell you to
F# F#m C# C#maj7
hide the truth and I made her cry
F# F#m C#
Because I've always had to be right
D#m G#
This is not just a random event
D#m G#
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
D#m G#
I can't just forgive and forget
F# G#
Yeah I've always had to be right
C# C#maj7
C# C#maj7
C# C#maj7
I remember back when I was 10
C# C#maj7
my sister broke a vase I got pinned with her
F# F#m C# C#maj7
crime, my mother thought that I lied
C# C#maj7
So she held a bar of soap to my mouth
C# C#maj7
told me she was going to wash the lies out
F# F#m C# C#maj7
but out of spite I took a bite
F# F#m C#
Because I've always had to be right
D#m G#
This is not just a random event
D#m G#
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
D#m G#
I can't just forgive and forget
F# G#
Yeah I've always had to be right
C# C#maj7
C# C#maj7
F# F#m
C# C#maj7
F# F#m
C# C#
C# C#maj7
Just because I'm no longer a kid
C# C#maj7
doesn't mean I won't do those things that I
F# F#m C# C#maj7
did back then, so don't be surprised
F# F#m C# C#maj7
If I always have to be right
F# F#m C#
Because I have always had to be right
D#m G#
This is not just a random event
D#m G#
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
D#m G#
I can't just forgive and forget
F# G#
Yeah I've always
N.C.
had to be right
