Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Say that again,

 I won't forget

 The phrase that turned

 in my head

 And at the start,

 it makes no sense

 A long time left

 to under- stand

There on the shore,

 the girl that I a- dore

 She combs her hair

 on the sand

 Yeah I know,

 you've got to fight the plan

 You've got to bend the rules

 Yeah I know,

 you've got to be your own man

 You've got to break the rules

 I think too much

 the alphabet

 You dance a pirouette

 in my head

 A chance remark

 be- come the spark

 And maybe luck

 has come again

 The hint of a smile,

 the accidental rhyme

 That captured me

 the first time

 And I know,

 you've got to fight the plan

 You've got to bend the rules

 And I know,

 you've got to be your own man

 You've got to make the rules

Chorus

Midnight standing in the shadows

 As haunting as a reckless escape

Bad days of crawling on the sidewalk

 You stare on in a mansion for the weekend

 We go on making moments last a lifetime

 We live on in the promises we keep, Ooh

Break

 The hint of a smile,

 the accidental rhyme

 That captured me

 the first time

 And I know,

 you've got to fight the plan

 You've got to bend the rules

 Yeah I know,

 you've got to be your own man

 You've got to break the rules

 And I know,

 you've got to be your own man

 You've got to make your own rules

 Aah aaa aaa

 Oeh ooe ooe

 Aah aaa aaa

 Oeh ooe ooe

No one making moments last a lifetime

 We live on in the company we keep

go on
