New Rules

(Am)Talking in my sleep at night,

making myself (G)crazy.

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

(Am)Wrote it down and read it out,

hoping it would save (G)me.

(F)(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 (G)I 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)morning,

and if you're (F)under him, (Dm7)you ain't gettin' (G)over him.

I got new rules, I count 'em.

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

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

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

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

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

(F)(Nowhere to turn, 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 (G)I tell myself,

I tell myself, I do, I do,

I do:

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

(Am)Practice makes perfect;

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

got new rules, I count 'em.)

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

'cause (Fmaj7)I...

got new, I got new, I,

I, I...)
