Standard tuning.

Chords used: Am , C , F , Dm , G.

Keith plays the F like this: (x03210)

The strumming pattern is (Down, Up, pause, Up, Up, Down, Up) It helps to watch a YouTube 
video of the band playing this acoustically to get the jist.

Keith and Chris play it with 2 guitars, Keith plays the chords I have tabbed, Chris 
plays the power chord version.


VERSE 1:

Am                             C
Don't be alarmed, it's not the end of the world
          F                      Dm
If we're breaking the rules it's fine
F                     Dm                   Am
I disregard this kind of problem all the time

Am                        C
It's not as if it's gonna kill anyone
              F                        Dm
If there's no victim then there's no crime
F                         Dm                       Am   G
Just draw another if you think we've crossed the line

CHORUS:

F
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
C
Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it
F
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
G      Dm    C        Dm
Don't stop me, don't stop me

VERSE 2:

For this first half of this verse, strum each chord and then quickly mute all the 
strings (whilst still strumming). It's what Keith plays and it sounds great.

Am                             C
Although it may seem unconventional sometimes
F                        Dm
Indiscretion is worth a try
F                     Dm                   Am
If you just play along I promise we'll be fine

BACK TO NORMAL STRUMMING PATTERN

Am                             C
So leave your hang-ups back at the door
F                                 Dm
When you and I are down on the floor
F                                 Dm                            
Am    G
Well you'll know what to do about it (You know what to do about it)

CHORUS:

F
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
C
Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it
F
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
G      Dm    C        Dm
Don't stop me, don't stop me

Am x 4

BRIDGE:

F                        G
It's not as bad as they say
                     Am
If this is such a mistake
                     C
Why does it make you so damn happy?
F                        G
This is no time to behave
                          Am
Let's both get carried away
                           C (mute after the C )
If there's a price to be paid
It won't stop me

CHORUS:

F
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
C
Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it
F
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
G      Dm    C        Dm
Don't stop me, don't stop me

G        Dm   C   G
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Dm          C        Dm           G     Am
They don't stop me, they don't stop me
