Intro: AbmGb (2x)
verse 1:
GbBbm
who wants to be right as rain
AbmBbm
it’s better when something is wrong
GbBbm
you get excitement in your bones
AbmBbm
and everything you do’s a game
GbBbm
when night comes and you’re all on your own
AbmBbm
you can say i chose to be alone
GbBbm
who wants to be right as rain
AbmGb
it’s harder when you’re on top
chorus 1:
Bbm
cause when hard work don’t pay off and i’m tired
AbmBbm
there ain’t no room in my bed as far as i’m concerned
AbmGb
so wipe that dirty smile off
AbmBbm
we won’t be making up, i’ve cried my heart out
AbmGb
and now i’ve had enough of love
verse 2:
GbBbm
who wants to be riding high
AbmBbm
when you’ll just crumble back on down
GbBbm
you give up everything you are
AbmBbm
and even then you don’t get far
GbBbm
they make believe that everything
AbmBbm
is exactly what it seems
GbBbm
but at least when you’re at your worst
AbmGb
you know how to feel things
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
AbmBbm
go ahead and still my heart to make me cry again
AbmBbm
cause it will never hurt as much as it did then
AbmBbm
when we were both right and no one had blame
AbmBbm
but now i give up on this endless game
verse 3:
GbBbm
cause who wants to be right as rain
AbmBbm
it’s better when something is wrong
GbBbm
i get excitement in my bones
AbmBbm
even though everything’s a strain
GbBbm
when night comes and i’m all on my own
AbmBbm
you should know i chose to be alone
GbBbm
so who wants to be right as rain
