The Rules Of The Road

So these are the ropes,
The tricks of the trade,
The rules of the road.

You're one of the dopes
For whom they were made,
The rules of the road.

You follow that kiss and recklessly miss
A bend of the road,
Then suddenly this
The end of the ɾoad.

So love is a hoax,
A glittering stɾeam
Of little white lies.
But these are the jokes,
And what if they bring
The tears to [C7]your eyes?

Well, love often shows a funny ɾeturn.
The brighter it glows,
The longer you [A7burn.
And Lord only knows
Love has little concern for [Dm7]the fools of the ɾoad.

But that's how it goes,
You live and [Bm]you [A7learn,
The ɾules of the ɾoad.

But that's how it goes,
You live and [Bm]you [A7learn,
The ɾules of the ɾoad.

And everyone knows that that's how it goes,
The ɾules of the ɾoad.
