Verse 1:
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
Em
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]

Coda:
Em
I don't want to be right
Cmaj7
If it means being without you
Em
I don't want to be right
Cmaj7
If it means sleeping at night
Em
I don't want to be right
Cmaj7
If loving you is wrong [fade]
