E            G
She wasn't a fool
A                 D    Dsus4 D
  That glittering girl
    E                 G
She followed the rules
A                 D     Dsus4 D
  That shimmering pearl

[Verse 1]

         G
Said the rules mama preaches
                  D      D7 D
Go down when they break
    G
The themes mama teaches
                B  B/F#
You just got to shake

[Chorus]

    E                G
But she wasn't a fool
A                   D      Dsus4 D
  That slender love figure
    E                 G
She followed her rules
A                B  B/F#
  And made money bigger

[Chorus]

G   Bb
She wasn't a fool
C                    F
  That shining young woman
G   Bb
She followed her rules
C                  D
  She's crying for no man

[Verse 2]

         G
Said the rules mama preaches
                     D
Go down when they're broken
      G
She explodes into peaches
                    B  B/F#
And cries when I've spoken

[Chorus]

    E            G
She wasn't a fool
A                 D    Dsus4 D
  That Goddess of Hell
          E           G
There are no mother's rules
A                   B
  She makes them herself

[Bridge]

B
And I was down upon my knees
B                             B/F#
To beg her surrender up to me

[Instrumental]

E   G A    D   Dsus4 D
E   G A    D   Dsus4 D

[Verse 3]

G
Something inside her
         D
Told her she shouldn't
G
Tried and alight her
             B  B/F#
But the girl wouldn't

[Chorus]

    E            G
She wasn't a fool
A                      D        Dsus4 D
  But love flowed from her face
      E               G
She's not scared of me
A                 B  B/F#
  She's afraid of disgrace

[Chorus]

G   Bb
She wasn't a fool
C                 F         Fsus4 F
  That female for our world
G   Bb
She followed her rules
C                 F
  That glittering girl
C                 F
  That glittering girl
C                 F
  That glittering girl
C                 D
  That glittering girl
