Standard tuning. Chords used: A5 , C5 , F5 , D5 , 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: A5 C5 Don't be alarmed, it's not the end of the world F5 D5 If we're breaking the rules it's fine F5 D5 A5 I disregard this kind of problem all the time A5 C5 It's not as if it's gonna kill anyone F5 D5 If there's no victim then there's no crime F5 D5 A5 G5 Just draw another if you think we've crossed the line CHORUS: F5 Rules don't stop me, forget about it C5 Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it F5 Rules don't stop me, forget about it G5 D5 C5 D5 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. A5 C5 Although it may seem unconventional sometimes F5 D5 Indiscretion is worth a try F5 D5 A5 If you just play along I promise we'll be fine BACK TO NORMAL STRUMMING PATTERN A5 C5 So leave your hang-ups back at the door F5 D5 When you and I are down on the floor F5 D5 A5 G5 Well you'll know what to do about it (You know what to do about it) CHORUS: F5 Rules don't stop me, forget about it C5 Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it F5 Rules don't stop me, forget about it G5 D5 C5 D5 Don't stop me, don't stop me Am x 4 BRIDGE: F5 G5 It's not as bad as they say A5 If this is such a mistake C5 Why does it make you so damn happy? F5 G5 This is no time to behave A5 Let's both get carried away C5 (mute after the C5 ) If there's a price to be paid It won't stop me CHORUS: F5 Rules don't stop me, forget about it C5 Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it F5 Rules don't stop me, forget about it G5 D5 C5 D5 Don't stop me, don't stop me G5 D5 C5 G5 Don't stop me, don't stop me D5 C5 D5 G5 A5 They don't stop me, they don't stop me
