New Rules

(Am)Talking in my sleep at night,

making myself (G)crazy.

(F)(Out of my mind, (G)out of my mind.)

(Am)Wrote it down and read it out,

hoping it would (G)save (F)me.

(Too many times, too many times.)

(G)My (Am)love, he makes me feel like (G)nobody else,

nobody else.

But my (Am)love,

he doesn't love me, so I (G)tell myself,

I tell myself.

(Am)One, don't pick up the phone;

you know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and (G)alone.

(F)Two, don't let him in;

you'll have to kick him out (G)again.

(Am)Three, don't be his friend;

you know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the (G)(F)morning,

and if you're under him, (Dm)you ain't gettin' (G)over him.

I got new rules, I count 'em.

(Am)(I got new rules, I (G)count 'em.)

(Fmaj7)(I gotta tell to (G)myself.)

(Am)(I got new rules, I (G)count 'em.)

(Fmaj7)(I gotta tell to (G)myself.)

(Am)I keep pushing forwards, but he keeps pulling me (G)backwards.

(F)(Nowhere to turn, (G)nowhere to turn.)

(Am)Now I'm standing back from it,

I fin'lly see the (G)pattern.

(F)(I never learn, I never learn.)

(G)But my (Am)love,

he doesn't love me, so I (G)tell myself,

I tell myself I do, I do,

I do.

(I gotta tell to myself.)

(Am)Practice makes perfect;

I'm still tryin' to learn it by (Fmaj7)heart.

(Am)Eat, sleep and breathe it, rehearse and repeat it,

'cause (Fmaj7)I...

I, I, (G)I...

(Am)One, don't pick up the phone;

you know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and (G)alone.
