[Verse 1]
A
Friday night I crashed your party,

Saturday I said I'm sorry
                                   E7
Sunday came and trashed me out again
       Bm
I was only having fun,
         G
Wasn't hurting anyone
        E
And we all enjoyed the
                 A
Weekend for a change

           A
I've been stranded in the combat zone,

I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
                                 E7
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
         Bm
And you told me not to drive,
       G 
But I made it home alive
         E                                A       A
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

[Chorus]
                  E
You may be right,
                 A
I may be crazy
             E             D
Oh, but it just may be a lunatic
        F#m             A
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

(Play Intro lick x4)

[Verse 2]
A
Remember how I found you there

Alone in your electric chair
                                   E7
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 a while

A
Now think of all the years you tried to

Find someone to satisfy you
                            E7
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                          A
And you wouldn't want me any other way

[Chorus]
                  E
You may be right,
                 A
I may be crazy
             E             D
Oh, 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

(Play Intro lick x2)

[Lead Break]
A     E7   Bm   G   E   A

[Chorus]
                  E
You may be right,
                 A
I may be crazy
             E             D
Hey, but it just may be a lunatic
        F#m             A
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

(Play Intro lick x2)

[Outro]
A                                     A A
You may be wrong but you may be right
A                                     A A
You may be wrong but you may be right
A                                     A A
You may be wrong but you may be right
A                                     A A
You may be wrong but you may be right

[Chorus]
                   E
You may be right,
                 A
I may be crazy

and
                     E
Turn out the light,
                    A
Don't try to save me


Try playing:
           E
You may be right
