E5        G5     A5 
She wasn't a fool 
                D5    D5  D5 
That glittering girl 
    E5            G5        A5 
She followed the rules 
                D5     D5  D5 
That shimmering pearl 
 

         G5                        G5 
Said the rules mama preaches 
                    D5        D5  D5 
Don't die when they break 
    G5                   
The things mama teaches 
               B5 
You just gotta shake 
 

        E5        G5     A5 
But she wasn't a fool 
                 D5 
That slender lovely girl 
    E5            G5     A5 
She followed her rules 
               B5 
And made money bigger 
 

    G5        Bb5    C5 
She wasn't a fool 
                   F5   F5  F5 
That shining young woman 
    G5            Bb5   C5 
She followed her rules 
                  D5 
She is crying for no man 
 
Said the rules mama teaches 

Don't die when they're broken 

She explodes into peaches 

And cries when I've spoken 
 
She wasn't a fool 

That goddess of hell 

There are no mother's rules 

She makes them herself 
 
B... 
 
If I was down upon my knees 

To beg her surrender up to me 
 
{solo; verse pattern} 
 
Something inside her 

Told he she shouldn't 

Tried and alight her 

But the girl wouldn't 
 
She wasn't a fool 

But love flowed from her face 

She's not scared of me 

She's afraid of disgrace 
 

    G5       Bb5      C5 
She wasn't a fool 
                    F5       F5  F5 
That female for our world 
    G5            Bb5      C5 
She followed her rules 
                F5        C5 
That glittering girl 
                F5        C5 
That glittering girl 
                F5        C5 
That glittering girl 
                D5 
That glittering girl
