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
