[Verse 1]
  G                               C                          G
I pull into my driveway while the day is slowly dying in the west

  Am                            Cm                           G
I look in that direction to the setting sun and the one that loved me best

                                       C                    G
We cried and said goodbye seems like a million years ago or was it yesterday

    Am                         Cm                        G
She swore she'd always love me God I wonder if she still feels that way
[Chorus]
  D                              G
I did the right thing  I did the right thing

                       C
I went back to my wife straightened out my life

D                    G     Fm
     I did the right thing
[Verse 2]
  G                             C                    G
I walk in to the house and hear small voices singing daddy's here

    Am                              Cm                           G
The lady of the house puts down the beer she's drinking she says hello dear

                            C                              G
While we make small talk my mind takes a long walk back to someone else

      Am                  Cm                             G
And I close my eyes and repeat those little lies I often tell myself
[Chorus]
  D                              G
I did the right thing  I did the right thing

                       C
I went back to my wife straightened out my life

D                     G     Fm
Lord, I did the right thing

   G
My face is wet with teardrops

  C                              G
I fumble for my wrist watch it's half past three

Am                              Cm                        G
Once more I was dreaming of the woman who once said she'd die for me

                                C                             G
But I did what was right and it hurts me every night now that she's gone

    Am                       Cm                             G
And all my friends are proud cause I gave her up to save my home
[Chorus]
  D                           G
I did the right thing, sure I did the right thing

                       C
I went back to my wife straightened out my life

D                     G     Fm
