D Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D
 
 
[Verse]
            D     Am7
Well, I'm a writer
    D       Am7
A writer of songs
 D            Am7         D         Am7
Pretty little ditties and singalongs
      G           C         D  Am7 D
So I ain't made a dime in a while
           Am7    D   Am7
Been workin' the circuit
    D       Am7
To sell my wares
      D         Am7
Got a lot of material
   D       Am7
Nobody cares
     G               C                          D  Am7 D
They tell me that my songs have gone out of style
Am7 D Am7 D
Mhmm
Am7   D
Hey hey
           D      Am7
I score a showcase
     D           Am7
Some big record man
   D           Am7
I know by the end
           D     Am7
He's gonna be my fan
G         C             D
I play my music bit by bit
Am7 D
Woo!
        Am7       D     Am7
Well my hands are shakin'
   D       Am7
My head is high
   D             Am7
He sees this and fidgets
           D             Am7
Says "what else you got?"
G            C
I shrug and I'm like
                  D  Am7 D
"Well, that was it"
   Am7      G
He says "if you'd come in here in '73
             Bb
You're the kind that I would have signed instantly
          C
But it's now, not then, and if I may be bold
        Db
Your material just feels a little old"
 
 
[Pre chorus]
  G
I walk out his office, head full of strife
       A
'Cause this is the story of my life, I'm in the
 
 
[Chorus]
G     A            Bm
Right place at the wrong time
          G      A           Bm
And it's a short walk, but a long climb
          G      A           D        G
I'm in the right place at the wrong time
          G      A             Bm
I'm in the right song with the wrong rhyme
          G      A       Bm
Is there a space where I belong I'm
           G      A            D      G
Just in the right place at the wrong time
      C
Hey, hey
                               D     Am7 D Am7
Is there anybody who feels this way?

[Verse]
       D     Am7
I am a singer
   D          Am7
My dreams are big
    D                    Am7
But producer's minds are small
     D           Am7
So I can't get a gig
G             C                D Am7 D
And I've been at it for a while
   Am7 D     Am7 D           Am7
In my Corolla, I drive around
        D          Am7
From audition to audition
           D       Am7
They don't like my sound
G               C                    D  Am7  D Am7
They tell me my singing's out of style
G
Singin' in a bar, owner looks at my face
           Bb
Says me I remind him of a girl who used to work in this place
    C
She made it real big, but that was way back when
         Db
You'd be set if you'd been around then
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
  G
I throw back a whiskey, then one more
    A
Because I've heard it all before, I'm in the
 
 
[Chorus]
G     A            Bm
Right place at the wrong time
           G     A           Bm
And it's a short walk, but a long climb
           G     A            D     G
I'm in the right place at the wrong time
           G     A             Bm
I'm in the right song with the wrong rhyme
           G     A         Bm
Is there a space where I belong I'm
            G     A            D     G
Just in the right place at the wrong time
     C
Hey, hey
                               D    Am7 D
Is there anybody who feels this way?
 
 Am7     D  Am7  D Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D
Oh, oh
 
 
[Verse]
  Am7       D
I leave the building
     D
Walk out the bar
   D
I head for the street
      D
And I get in my car
    G                     C                    D
I'm prayin', Lord, please send some kind of sign
               D
Then I see the woman
             D
Her eyes are deep and black
      D
In my windshield there's a man
       D
With a guitar on his back
   G                C                  D  Am7 D
I wonder if her/his life is just like mine
      Am7     D
Stare at each other
Am7          Am7
Feelings hypnotized
   D               Am7               D       Am7
We never break the contact from each other's eyes
     G          C                D   Am7 D Am7
Even as she accidentally mows me down
         D      Am7    D       Am7
Now he's bloody on the pavement
         D        Am7
And I am close to death
    D                 Am7      D       Am7
And I could smell the alcohol upon her breath
    G             C                     D     Am7 D Am7
And I hear sirens comin' from across the town
          G
And now my song is done and my life is too
        A
And my story is a testament to all those who are in the
 
 
[Chorus]
G     A            Bm
Right place at the wrong time
G     A          Bm
Short walk but a long climb
G     A           D      G
Right place at the wrong time
          G      A             Bm
I'm in the right song with the wrong rhyme
          G      A         Bm
Is there a space where I belong I'm
G     A            D     G
Right place at the wrong time, we’re in the
G     A            Bm
Right place at the wrong time
          G      A           Bm
And it's a short walk, but a long climb, we're in the
G     A           D      G
Right place at the wrong time
            G      A             Bm
We're in the right song with the wrong rhyme
          G      A     Bm
Is there a space where I belong I'm
           G      A           D      G
Just in the right place at the wrong time
     C
Hey, hey
                                          D    Am7 D Am7
Now I'm not the only person who feels this way
     D  Am7 D Am7
Hey, hey
     D  Am7 D Am7
Hey, hey
     D  Am7 D Am7
Hey, hey
     D  Am7 D Am7
Hey, he-e-ey
     D  Am7 D Am7
Hey, he-e-ey
     D  Am7 D
Hey, he-e-ey
Am7      D  Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D Am7
Hey hey, he-e-eeeeeeeey
  D Am7 D Am7
Mhmm
  D Am7 D Am7
Mhmm
