YOU MAY BE RIGHT (BILLY JOEL)

INTRO RIFF:  A -- (4x);  A -- ; (2x)

  A
Friday night I crashed your party
 A
Saturday I said I'm sorry
  A                                                             E
Sunday came and trashed me out again
         Bm
I was only having fun
               G
Wasn't hurting anyone
               E
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a
       A      – –
   change

                      A
I've been stranded in the combat zone
      A
I walked through Bedford Sty alone
             A                                             E
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
                Bm
And you told me not to drive
             G
But I made it home alive
               E
So you said that only proves
                      A
That I'm insane

                           E                           A
   You may be right... I may be crazy
                          E
   Aww, but it just may be
            D                      F#m            A
        a lunatic you're looking for
                             E
   Turn out the light
                           A
   Don't try to save me
                             D                        E
   You may be wrong for all I know,
                                   A    – – – –
   But you may be right
  
                A
Well remember how I found you there
    A
Alone in your electric chair
    A                                                      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
'Cause you might enjoy some madness
                  A   – –
     for a while

               A
Now I think of all the years you tried to
  A
Find someone to satisfy you
A                                              E
I might be as crazy as you say
           Bm
If I'm crazy then it's true
                G
That it's all because of you
                    E
And you wouldn't want me
                     A
Any other way

                           E                           A
   You may be right... I may be crazy
                           E                     D
   Aww, but it just may be a lunatic
                     F#m            A
         you're looking for
                               E
   It’s too late to fight
                                 A
   It’s too late to change me
                             D                       E
   You may be wrong for all I know,
                                  A     – –
   But you may be right

            D                      F#m            A
        a lunatic you're looking for
                             E
   Turn out the light
                                  A
   Oh, don't try to save me
                             D                        E
