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