You May Be Right Tab

   
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

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
