Intro: C (8 bars) 

                 C 
I can't live this way 
                Am 
Breaking all my rules again 
              Em 
Choking on my gin 
                     B 
You push 'til I give in 
                      C 
'Til the loser always wins 



                 Am 
Somehow with his beckoning 
                  Em 
Bruising with his threads 
                  B 
Confusing what he says 
                     C 
But I won't live that way (ay-ee-ay) 
                         Am 
Though I kind of want to anyway 
                Em 
Kind of want to play 
                            B 
With all the pretty and the pure 
                     C 
Well I return to the earth 
                Am 
I return to the dust 
                      Em 
No more beauty by the pound 
                  B 
And this I do not... trust 



       Am         C 
'Cause nothing forgives 
F         Em             
Rules and narrow margins 
G            Am 
(ehhh, ehhh, ehhhhhh) 
       C 
In our lives 
     F         Em 
It's rules and narrow margins 
           G           C 
But I will slip by (-yyyyy) 



                 C 
I can't find the time 
                 Em 
I don't know the future 
                      Am 
I couldn't bring that past back 
                    G 
I waste what little time I have 



                     C 
But I swear I almost touched it 
                          Em 
Yet it slipped between my fingers 
                     Am 
Sent shivers down my spine 
                     G 
Cut a splinter in my mind 



              Am        C 
But it wasn't nothing, again 
     F         Em 
This rules and narrow margins 
G            Am 
(ehhh, ehhh, ehhhhhh) 
        C 
But our life 
   F         Em 
Is rules and narrow margins 
           G           C 
But I will slip by  



F         Em 
Rules and narrow margins 
G         
(eeeh, ehhh) 
F         Em 
Rules and narrow margins 
           G           C 
But I will slip by (-yyyy)
