The First Rule of Love

(Capo V)

( Am Intro)
C                    G                   Am
You'll get hooked, you?ll get drugged
                C                        G                        Am

She'll be your essence she?ll be your blood
     C                        G                              F

And you'll want her more and more but you?ll never get enough

                              Am           G  ( F )       Am
And thats the first rule of love


C                    G                   Am

She?ll smell so sweetly in the morning
C                    G                   Am

She?ll make you feel so good inside
            C                        G                              F

And you?ll want her so much you?ll give everything else up
        Am             G  ( F )       Am

And that?s the first rule of love


(Guitar Solo)
 Am , G , F , Am x2
Em , G , Am x2

C                    G                   Am

You?ll grow comfortable together
C                    G                   Am

You?ll start to fit like hand and glove

         C                        G                              F
And then you?ll start to hate the men she used to dream of

Am           G  ( F )       Am
And that?s the first rule of love


 F                         Am    F                    Am

You?ll miss her madly, when you?re apart
Em               G          F

Love is like gravity holding down your heart


(Guitar Solo)
Am , G , F , Am x2
Em , G , Am x2

  C             G              Am

You?ll grow envious and bitter
 C                   G                     Am

She?ll be enquiring and concerned

         C                         G                  F
And you?ll feel so close to her but never close enough
Am           G  ( F )       Am

To get past the first rule of love


                    C                       G                         F
And with the awkwardness of strangers
you will finally give up

 Am                G                 Am
No exceptions to the first rule of love
Am                G                 Am
No exceptions to the first rule of love
