                  Break The Rules
         (Rossi/Young/Parfitt/Coghlan/Lancaster) 

         G (320003@1)Spent a long long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar

Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car
  CI (x32010@1)asked no questions, got no lies,
                          Bb (x1333x@1)            GI (320003@1)walked off with her, I didn't want any ties
    Bb (x1333x@1)              GAnd (320003@1)I knew it wasn't right
     D (xx0232@1)              F (133211@1) D (xx0232@1)    C (x32010@1)  Bb (x1333x@1)G (320003@1)   - D (xx0232@1) 
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.

         G (320003@1)         
Took me down on the highway doin' too may miles an hour

By that way she motor-talked we might have made the Eiffel Tower.
      C (x32010@1)She stopped her motor by her own front door,
                         Bb (x1333x@1)         GI (320003@1)knew she'd done it so many times before
    Bb (x1333x@1)                GAnd (320003@1)I was offered the floor.
    D (xx0232@1)               F (133211@1) D (xx0232@1)    C (x32010@1)  Bb (x1333x@1)G (320003@1)  - DBut (xx0232@1)everybody has to sometimes break the rules.
