Break The Rules
(Rossi/Young/Parfitt/Coghlan/Lancaster)
G
Spent a long long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car
C
I asked no questions, got no lies,
Bb G
I walked off with her, I didn't want any ties
Bb G
And I knew it wasn't right
D F D C Bb G - D
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.
G
Took me down on the highway doin' too may miles an hour
By that way she motor-talked we might have made the Eiffel Tower.
C
She stopped her motor by her own front door,
Bb G
I knew she'd done it so many times before
Bb G
And I was offered the floor.
D F D C Bb G - D
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.
