[INTRO]
[G] [Em] [C] [D] x3
[C] [G] [D] [G]

[VERSE]

You did everything that you could
You [C]had to go away from your [D]home
I [G]never realized when [Em]I was a kid
How a[C]lone, how a[D]lone
[G]Yeah well, back in [Em]your neighbourhood
They [C]knew you when you blew through [D]town
Be[C]hind [G]your [D]back they were putting you [G]down

[CHORUS]
They had [C]
Rules for [G]this
They had [Em]
Rules for [D]that
[C]Rule on [G/B]top of [Am]rule [G] [D]
Broke your ba[G]ck

[VERSE]
Once upon a time I was [Em]holding your hand
A [C]lady off the street came [D]up
She [G]said "Hey mister, [Em]I need some money"
You [C]can't give e[D]nough
I'll [G]never forget the [Em]look in your eye
As you [C]dug into your pocket to [D]give
[C]That [G]look of [D]love gave me a reason to [G]live

[CHORUS]
They got [C]
Rules for [G]this
And they got [Em]
Rules for [D]that
If you put [C]rule on [G/B]top of [Am]rule [G]
You can [D]break someone's[G] back [C]
Break the [D]rule[G]s__ [C]
Break the [D]rules

[VERSE]
[G]Just the other day I was [Em]breaking a rule
My [C]whole self was a[D]shamed
I [G]thought the sky would [Em]open and cry [C]
Thunder and [D]rain
[G]Yeah well, there are [Em]many reasons
[C]I don't feel so [D]good
[C]I'd [G]for[D]give if I [G]could

[CHORUS]
But I got [C]
Rules for [G]this
I got [Em]
Rules for [D]that
[C]Rule on [G/B]top of [Am]rule [G] [D]
To [D]break my [G]back [C]
Break the [D]rule[G]s__ [C]
Break the [D]rules
