I Did the Right Thing Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I[F][G][F]
[G]pull into my driveway
While the [C]day is slowly dying [G]in the west
I [Am]look in that direction
To the [Cm]set ting sun and the one
who [G]loved me best

[Verse 2]
[G]We cried and said goodbye
Seems [C]like a million years ago
or [G]was it yesterday?
She [Am]swore she'd always love me
[Cm]God, I wonder if she still [G]feels that way

[Verse 3]
[D]I did the right thing
I did [G]the right thing
I went back to my wife
[C]Straightened out my [D]life
I did the right [G]thing[F]

[Verse 4]
I [G]walk in to the house
And hear [C]small voices singing,
[G]"Daddy's here"
The [Am]lady of the house puts down
[Cm]the beer she's drinking
And says, [G]"Hello, dear"

[Verse 5]
[G]While we make small talk
[C]My mind takes a long walk back
[G]to someone else
[Am]And I close my eyes and re
[Cm]peat those little lies
I of[G]ten tell myself

[Verse 6]
[D]I did the right thing
I did [G]the right thing
I went back to my wife
[C]Straightened out my life
[D]Lord, I did the right [G]thing
[F][Fsus4][Fm][Ab]

[Verse 7]
[F#]
My [Ab]face is wet with teardrops
I [C#]fumble for my wrist watch,
it's half [Ab]past three
[Bbm]Once more I was dreaming
of the [C#m]woman
Who once said she'd [Ab]die for me

[Verse 8]
[Ab]But I did what was right
And it [C#]hurts me every night
now [Ab]that she's gone
And [Bbm]all my friends are proud
[C#m]'Cause I gave her up to save [Ab]my home

[Verse 9]
[Eb]I did the right thing
Sure, [Ab]I did the right thing
I went back to my wife
[C#]Straightened out [Eb]my life
I did the [Ab]right [F#]thing
I did [Ab]the right thing
[F#]
