You May Be Right
Billy Joel
Text File
I apologize in advance for those of you who are advanced enought that this may question
intelligence, I am by no means trying to do that. I know that when I was first starting
it made it much easier if everything was spelled out in front of me and so I did the
I could to make it as easy as possible for everyone. I'm not saying I'm an expert and I
have made mistakes writing this out, which if I did I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure that
is correct I hope it helps.

Verses:
A
Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
E
Sunday came and trashed me out again
Bm
I was only having fun
G
Wasn't hurting anyone
E A
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
A
I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
E
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
Bm
And you told me not to drive
G
But I made it home alive
E A
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right

D E A
You may be wrong for all I know but you may be right
Verses:
A
Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
E
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
Bm
You were lonely for a man
G
I said take me as I am
E A
Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile
A
Now think of all the years you've tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
E
I might be as crazy as they say
Bm
If I'm crazy then it's true
G
That it's all because of you
E A
And you wouldn't want me any other way
