Too Many Rules

F#                             C#
I got home last night at ten past two
My folks turned blue
              F#
Their tempers flew
                                  C#
I've got to be in bed by quarter to ten
                    F#
There go those rules again

F#                  C#
Too many rules, too many rules
Folks are just fools makin'
F#
Too many rules
I pray to stars above
     B
I haven't lost your love
C#                           F# G
'Cause there are too many rules

G                             D
When you call me on the telephone
It's not my own
                  G
They've made it known
                                D
So you must call me only now and then
                       G
There go those rules again

G                     D
Too many rules, too many rules
Folks are just fools makin'
G

My kid brother's always on my trail
                            G#
I can't escape that tattle-tale
I hope you understand
                    D#
What I'm goin' through
                      G#
I don't know what to do

G#                     D#
