Standard (EADGBE)
Chords used: , , , , .
Keith plays the F like this: (x03210)
The strumming pattern is (Down, Up, pause, Up, Up, Down, Up) It helps to watch a YouTube
video of the band playing this acoustically to get the jist.
Keith and Chris play it with 2 guitars, Keith plays the chords I have tabbed, Chris
plays the power chord version.
Verse 1
Don't be alarmed, it's not the end of the world
If we're breaking the rules it's fine
I disregard this kind of problem all the time
It's not as if it's gonna kill anyone
If there's no victim then there's no crime
Just draw another if you think we've crossed the line
Chorus
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Verse 2
For this first half of this verse, strum each chord and then quickly mute all the
strings (whilst still strumming). It's what Keith plays and it sounds great.
Although it may seem unconventional sometimes
Indiscretion is worth a try
If you just play along I promise we'll be fine
BACK TO NORMAL STRUMMING PATTERN
So leave your hang-ups back at the door
When you and I are down on the floor
Well you'll know what to do about it (You know what to do about it)
Chorus
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Am x 4
Bridge
It's not as bad as they say
If this is such a mistake
Why does it make you so damn happy?
This is no time to behave
Let's both get carried away
(mute after the )
If there's a price to be paid
It won't stop me
Chorus
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Rules don't stop me, we'll get around it
Rules don't stop me, forget about it
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Don't stop me, don't stop me
They don't stop me, they don't stop me
