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

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

Spent a low down evening sitting high on a honky—tonk stool.

And I spent my money like a low down honky—tonk fool.
