I been in the Em7RIGHT PLA-CE
but it musta Bm7been the Awro - ng time\
MY HeAD is in a Em7BAD PLA -CE
but I have Bm7such Agood times
(N.C)
I been running .. (trying) keep hung up in my mind (oooohhhh)
(N.C)
giddy-de-got to give myself a good talking - to this time
(N.C)
justa need a little brain salad surgery (oooooooooooooh)

I been in the Em7WRONG place
but it musta Bm7been the Aright time
I been in the Em7right place
But it musta Bm7been the Awrong song
I been in the Em7right vein
but it seemed Bm7like the Awrong arm
I been in the Em7right world
but it seemed Bm7like a
Awrong wrong wrong wrong Ewrong
Instrumental
(N.C)
Slippin dodging sneaking creeping hiding out down the street (oooohhhh)
(N.C)
See my life shakin with every who I meet
(N.C)
Refried confusion is a making itself clear (ooooh)
(N.C)
What a which where’d I go
To get on out a Ahere
But I been in the Em7right place
but it musta Bm7been the Awrong time
and Ida said the Em7right thing
but I musta uBm7sed the Awrong line
Ida hit the Em7right road
but I musta Bm7took a Awrong turn
Id took a Em7right move
but I made Bm7at the Awrong time
I been in theEm7 right trip
but I made iBm7n the Awrong call
head was in a Em7good place
and I wonder Bm7what its Athere for
(Jam it out)
Notes:
[Instrumental - Modulate and jam it out … consider jumping to F#m7 in the instrumental]
(N.C) You want to bring it down here, to create some tension and allow the chorus to have more power.
(N.C) So just riff on the bass E and 5th fret position pentatonics
You've got to carry both the bass and the rhythm here when playing acoustic, so make use of your open E and A
Some alternate chords you can use to riff on.
