Here we are at this impasse again
A Amaj7
the same old argument, the same old end
D Dm
You're looking at me with those angry eyes
A Amaj7
You say, "Why, do you always have to be right?"
A
well let me tell you (spoken)
A Amaj7
Sittin’ there on the bus to school
A Amaj7
Little Sallie tellin' us that her poor old
D Dm A Amaj7
dog had died and gone to Heav'n in the sky
A Amaj7
I turned around and told her that wasn't true
A Amaj7
It's just a story that your parents tell you to
D Dm A Amaj7
hide the truth and I made her cry
D Dm A
Because I've always had to be right
Bm E
This is not just a random event
Bm E
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
Bm E
I can't just forgive and forget
D E
Yeah I've always had to be right
A Amaj7
A Amaj7
A Amaj7
I remember back when I was 10
A Amaj7
my sister broke a vase I got pinned with her
D Dm A Amaj7
crime, my mother thought that I lied
A Amaj7
So she held a bar of soap to my mouth
A Amaj7
told me she was going to wash the lies out
D Dm A Amaj7
but out of spite I took a bite
D Dm A
Because I've always had to be right
Bm E
This is not just a random event
Bm E
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
Bm E
I can't just forgive and forget
D E
Yeah I've always had to be right
A Amaj7
A Amaj7
D Dm
A Amaj7
D Dm
A A
A Amaj7
Just because I'm no longer a kid
A Amaj7
doesn't mean I won't do those things that I
D Dm A Amaj7
did back then, so don't be surprised
D Dm A Amaj7
If I always have to be right
D Dm A
Because I have always had to be right
Bm E
This is not just a random event
Bm E
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
Bm E
I can't just forgive and forget
D E
Yeah I've always
N.C.
had to be right
