Break The Rules (Rossi/Young/Parfitt/Coghlan/Lancaster) G Spent a long long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car C I asked no questions, got no lies, Bb G I walked off with her, I didn't want any ties Bb G And I knew it wasn't right D F D C Bb G - D But everybody has to sometimes break the rules. G 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 She stopped her motor by her own front door, Bb G I knew she'd done it so many times before Bb G And I was offered the floor. D F D C Bb G - D But everybody has to sometimes break the rules. guitar solo:
