Break The Rules
(Rossi/Young/Parfitt/Coghlan/Lancaster)
Spent a l[G]ong long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car
I [C]asked no questions, got no lies,
I walked off with her, I d[Bb]idn't want any t[G]ies
And [Bb]I knew it wasn't r[G]ight
But e[D]verybody has to s[F]omet[D]imes br[C]eak t[Bb]he r[G]ules.[-] [D]
Took me d[G]own on the highway doin' too may miles an hour
By that way she motor-talked we might have made the Eiffel Tower.
She st[C]opped her motor by her own front door,
I knew she'd done it so m[Bb]any times bef[G]ore
And [Bb]I was offered the fl[G]oor.
But [D]everybody has to s[F]omet[D]imes br[C]eak t[Bb]he r[G]ules.[-] [D]

second solo: piano
third solo: harmonica
I w[G]oke up next morning feeling kind of up and down
Cos I did not know if I was in or out of town
Then I s[C]aw the face from the night before
Purse was empty and l[Bb]ying there on the fl[G]oor
But l[Bb]ike I told you bef[G]ore
That e[D]verybody has to s[F]ometi[D]mes br[C]eak t[Bb]he ru[G]les
Spent a l[G]ow down evening sitting h[C]igh on a honky-tonk sto[G]ol.
And I sp[C]ent my money like a low down honky-tonk f[G]ool.
But ev[D]erybody has to s[F]omet[D]imes br[C]eak t[Bb]he ru[G]les
But ev[D]erybody has to s[F]omet[D]imes br[C]eak t[Bb]he ru[G]les
But ev[D]erybody has to s[Bb5]ometimes b[A5]reak the r[G]ules
