don't talk about no war I have a little trouble to keep from getting angry with the world But I feel a little stronger when I say to myself I know when I'm right, I know when I'm wrong, ooh I know when I'm right, I know when I'm wrong, ooh I know when I'm right and I know when I'm wrong And I know because I could feel it, that's how I get along I know when I'm right, I know when I'm wrong And I know when I'm right and I know when I'm wrong I know when I'm right, and I know when I'm wrong I know when I'm right, I know when I'm wrong [outro solo] Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
