Break The Rules

	  		Intro: 
 


                  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.

   G                                               
I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down 
                                              
Cos I did not know if I was in or out of town 
        C                                 
Then I saw the face from the night before 
                     Bb                  G 
Purse was empty and lying there on the floor 
     Bb                G 
But like I told you before 
      D                F    D     C    Bb   G 
That everybody has to sometimes break the rules 

         G                        C                      G 
Spent a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool. 
        C                                        G 
And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool. 
      D               F   D      C    Bb   G   
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules 
      D               F   D      C    Bb   G   
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules 
      D               Bb5       A5        G   
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
