Tom: C#m

C#m B  A  F#m G#m A  G#
C#m B  A  F#m G#m A  G#
F#m G#7

[Verse 1]
   C#m                         E
If loving you is wrong I don't want to be right
   A
If being right means being without you
    F#m    E            A       B
I'd rather live a wrongful life.
     C#m
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
      E
Its a down right disgrace
       A
But as long as I got you by my side
       F#m   G#m        A  G#m
Then I don't care what your people say
     F#m
Your friends tell you it's no future
   C#m
In lovin' a married man
   F#m
If I can't see you when I want
          C#m
Then I'll see you when I can

[Chorus]
   A                   C#m
If loving you is wrong I don't want to be right
   A                   C#m
If loving you is wrong I don't want to be right

[Verse 2]
C#m
Am I wrong to fall
   E
So deeply in love with you
   A
Oh I got a wife and two little children
       F#m   G#m    A  G#m
That's depending on me too
    C#m
Am I wrong to hunger
           E
For the gentleness of your touch
  A
Knowing I got someone else at home
     F#m  G#m  A  G#m
That needs me just as much
   F#m
And are you wrong to give your love
C#m
To a married man
   F#m
And am I wrong for tryin' to hold on.
       C#m
To the best thing I ever had

[Chorus]
    A                          C#m
If loving you is wrong I don't want to be right
    A                          C#m
If loving you is wrong I don't want to be right

[Solo]
C#m B  A  F#m G# A  G#m

[Verse 3]
    F#m
And are you wrong to give your love
C#m
To a married man
    F#m
And am I wrong for tryin' to hold on
       C#m
To the best thing I ever had

[Chorus]
   A                        C#m
If loving you is wrong then I don't want to be right
   A                        C#m
If loving you is wrong then I don't want to be right

[Outro]
Peddle on C#m A to end

Oh then I don't wanna be right
If it means sleeping without you baby
And I don't wanna be right
If it means living without you baby
And I don't wanna be, I don't want to be
I don't wanna be, I don't want to be
I don't wanna be right
If lovin' you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
I don't care what your mama and daddy say no
