Yeah I don't wanna be right if it means I can't sleep at night

    Em
And I don't wanna be right (I don't wanna be right)

     CM7
If I can't kiss you when I want to

    Em
And I don't wanna be right (I Don't wanna be right)

     CM7
If I can't sleep with you at night

    Em
And I don't wanna be right (I don't wanna be right)

     CM7
If I can't hold you when I want to

           Em
No, no-no, no-no, I don't wanna be right, (I don't wanna be right)

     CM7
If I can't be with you at night
