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