Standard Tuning


Amaj7 (X 0 2 1 2 0)
Dsus2 (X X 0 2 3 0)
A*(not too sure what it's called) (X 0 2 2 0 0)

Intro: 
F#m  E x3
F#m  E    Amaj7

Dsus2
Legs scream at bikes and bikes scream at trucks
A
And motorists curse their lousy luck
Dsus2
Crossing guard's not doing his job
A                                       Amaj7
And traffic's not about to stop for the first causality


                  Dsus2             A*
Of thought it's the rules, it's the rules

Amaj7

Dsus2
Super farmer's bent on the cover of Time
A
The moralist screams he's all mine
Dsus2
So the bard isn't doing her job the vacuum night
A                     Amaj7
The darkest rites the small quarantined thoughts


Dsus2                    A*
It's the rules, it's the rules

F#m    E x3
F#m    E     Amaj7

Dsus2
Salesman says this vacuum's guaranteed it
A
Could suck an ancient virus from the sea
Dsus2
It could put the dog out of a job
A                                                 Amaj7
Could make the traffic stop so little thoughts can safely get across


Dsus2                    A*
It's the rules, it's the rules
Dsus2                    A*
Guaranteed or not it's the rules

Amaj7
