	    Em [2: Em9]
	If loving you is wrong
	      Gmaj7/D
	I don't want to be right
	   Cmaj7
	If being right means being without you
	     Am            Bm       Cmaj7   Bm
	I'd rather live a wrongdoing life

	Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
	It's a downright disgrace
	But as long as I got you by my side
	I don't care what your people say

	       Am
	Your friends tell you it's no future
	    Em
	In loving a married man
	   Am
	If I can't see you when I want
	      Em
	I'll see you when I can

Chorus:

	    Cmaj7
	If loving you is wrong

	I don't want to be right
	    Cmaj7
	If loving you is wrong
	         Em
	I don't want to be right

Verse 2:

	Am I wrong to fall
	So deeply in love with you
	Knowing I got a wife and two little children
	Depending on me too

	And am I wrong to hunger
	For the gentleness of your touch
	Knowing I got someone else at home
	Who needs me just as much

	[1: And] are you wrong to give your love
	To a married man
	And am I wrong for tryin' to hold on
	To the best thing I ever had

[repeat chorus]

	If it means sleeping at night
	Em
	I don't want to be right
	    Cmaj7
	If loving you is wrong [fade]
