                  EE Piano Chord 
        BB Piano Chord 

You've come home with somethin' on your mind

            EE Piano Chord 
        BB Piano Chord 

Darlin', tell me, why are you cryin'

         BB Piano Chord 

While tryin' to tell me somethin' that I've done
EE Piano Chord 
          BB Piano Chord 
            EE Piano Chord 
     BB Piano Chord 

The things you heard couldn't be denied
EE Piano Chord 
          BB Piano Chord 
             EE Piano Chord 
      BB Piano Chord 

But before your opinion, listen to my side

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro]

(whoa, it's all right)
(whoa, it's all right)

Verse 2:

Girl, you're wrong to believe what was said
For you see nothing could ever be that bad
Though the talk is now all over town
Darling, you know I'd never put you down
True, her and me were at the party as guests
There's nothing else to say about whom I love best

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro to fade]

(whoa, it's all right)
(whoa, it's all right)
