Random Rules

F    Am        Bb                              F
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection
F                   Am                Bb                    F
Slowly screwing my way across Europe, they had to make a correction
F          Am                         Bb                         F
Broken and smokin' where the infrared deer plunge in the digital snake
F                               Am                Bb                        F
I tell you, they make it so you can't shake hands when they make your hands shake

[Chorus]
Gm                 Bb
I know you like to line dance
Gm            Bb
Everything so democratic and cool
Gm                    Bb            F
But, baby, there's no guidance when random rules

[Verse 2]
F             Am                        Bb                        F
I know that a lot of what I say has been lifted off of men's room walls
F                Am                           Bb                        F
Well, maybe I've crossed the wrong rivers and walked down all the wrong halls
F               Am                      Bb              F
But nothing can change the fact that we used to share a bed
F             Am                    Bb               F
That's why it scared me so when you turned to me and said:

[Bridge]
Gm                   Bb
"Yeah, you look like someone
Gm                  Bb
Yeah, you look like someone who up and left me low
Gm                 Bb        F
Boy, you look like someone I used to know"

[Verse 3]
F           Am              Bb                F
I asked the painter why the roads are colored black
F                     Am
He said, "Steve, it's because people leave
       Bb                      F
And no highway will bring them back"
F               Am         Bb             F
So if you don't want me, I promise not to linger
F            Am                      Bb                                F
But before I go, I've gotta ask you, dear, about that tan line on your ring finger

[Otro]
Gm                Bb
No one should have two lives
Gm               Bb
Now you know my middle names are Wrong and Right
Gm               Bb           F
Honey, we've got two lives to give tonight
F
To give tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
