Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Ever[Am]ybody's got to straighten out somethings,
sometime
I don't [Dm]care how old you are
or how young you are
But I want you to think about
the last time
That you heard some[Am]body say,
"Let's straighten it out"
And I'll bet it was [Dm]a man that said it,
why?
Because most of the time it's a man
Who makes it crooked [Am]in
the first place
You see, men have a tendency to
take women for gran[Dm]ted
But I believe, a woman feels
things deeper than a man
And I believe, that a [Am]woman loves
stronger than a man
Sit yourself down an[Dm]d talk to me
Tell me what's on [Am]your mind
Don't you keep on telling me
[Dm]everything's okay
'Cause if it was,
you wouldn't [Am]be crying
You've been tossin' and turnin'
[Dm]in your sleep lately, babe
Sittin' around [Am]poutin' all day long
How in the hell do you expect
[Dm]me to understand?
When I don't even [Am]know,
don't know what's wrong, yeah
Let's [Dm]straighten it out
Ah baby, let's [Am]straighten it out
[Dm]Honey, let's straighten it out
[Gsus4]Ah, let's strai[Am]ghten it ou[Dm]t[Am][Dm]
Let's straighten it out
Oh baby, let's [Am]straighten it out
Can't hear you honey, ah,
[Dm]let's straighten it out
C'mon, [Gsus4]let's str[Am]aighten it out
For the [Dm]last five nights, honey
[Gsus4]When we went to b[Dm]ed,
I could [Gsus4]tell some[Am]thing wasn't right
[Dm]When you turned your back on me
[Gsus4]And you covered y[Dm]our head,
[Am]didn't even say goodnight
[Dm]If you're tired and don't
wanna be bothered, baby
Just say the words,
[Am]I'll leave you alone
Instead of [Dm]laying there,
cryin' your eyes out
[Gsus4]You and me ou[Am]ght to be gettin' along
Ah, let's [Dm]straighten it out
[Gsus4]Mmm, let's stra[Am]ighten it out
[Dm]Let's straighten it out, baby
[Am]Ah, let's straighten it out
C'mon, let's [Dm]straighten it out
Just say the words,
[Am]I'll straighten it out
Instead of lay[Dm]ing there,
cryin' your eyes out
You and me ought [Gsus4]to be get[Am]tin' along
Oh, let's [Dm]straighten [Am]it ou[Dm]t
Oh, baby, [Am]let's straighten it out
Hey, [Dm]honey, let's straighten it out
Ahh, let's [Am]straighten [Dm]it out
Let's [Am]straighten it out
Let's [Dm]straighten it out
Let's [Am]straighten it [Dm]out[Am][Dm]
Let's straighten [Dm]it out
