  			Intro: Em G Em G 

Verso 1: 
Em		     G 
You've been checking all my facts 
    Em	      G 
And I admit I have been lax 
   Em		    G 
In double-screening what I say 
   Em		G 
It wasn't funny anyway 

Refrão 2x: 
G	Em	  C	     G 
  I ... stand ... corrected 

Verso 2: 
Em		  G 
No one cares when you are wrong 
    Em		      G 
But I've been at this far too long 
   Em		      G 
To act like that when we should be 
   C	   D	 G 
In perfect harmony 

Refrão 2x: 
G	Em	  C	     G 
  I ... stand ... corrected 

Ponte: 
Em	     C 
Lord knows I haven't tried 
G	     Em 
I'll take my stand 
Am  C	 D 
One last time 

Em	     C 
Forget the protocol 
G	     Em 
I'll take your hand 
Am  C	 D 
Right in mine 

Refrão 2x: 
G	Em	  C	     G 
  I ... stand ... corrected
