Rules

G A Bm

[Verse 1]
G                A               
Mother taught me not to give too 
Bm
much away
G                A                
Father taught me tender hearts are
 Bm
 bound to break
                    G
And now I'm just confused
A                        Bm
'Cause they broke all the rules
G                    A
Said one thing, they did the other
        Bm
Now I'm good at friends but I'm bad 
at lovers


[Pre-Chorus]
G       A                    Bm
Oh, oh, there I go giving my heart 
away
Bm
Thought it would heal the pain
G       A                     Bm
Oh, oh, there I go making the same 
mistakes

Don't wanna start again


[Chorus]
    G          A
The rules of, rules of love
     Bm             D
Keep changing, keep swaying
    G          A
The rules of, rules of love
     Bm             D
Keep changing, keep swaying
             G                     
In different directions, keep 
     A
giving me lessons
       Bm          D
All I ever really learn
    G         A              Bm
The rules of, rules of love

     G                        
They taught me to get jealous, 
           A
taught me how to fight
Bm
Taught me to pretend like 
everything’s alright
G                    A

Now I'm good at friends but I'm bad 
at lovers

G                A
Why is it all so complicated?
Bm             D
Won't somebody please explain it
