Intro:
Cadd9Cadd9 Bb7/C  Cadd9Cadd9  Cadd9#5

Verse 1:
  Cadd9Cadd9     A7#5    Dadd2/F# Fm6/9
One day I told my friend I was terribly blue.
    Cadd9/E     A7#5  FMaj9Fmaj9    Fm6/9
Was it far too late to do what I dreamed I would do?
   C/EC/E     FF       Em7b5Em7b5 A7#5
He thought for a moment, then he answered.
       C/DC/D     D9D9   Dm9Dm9 Fm69/G
He said, “The rules don’t apply to you.”

Verse 2:
  Cadd9Cadd9     A7#5    Dadd2/F# Fm6/9
He said it very simply, and quietly too,
   Cadd9/E     A7#5     Dadd2/F#  Fm6/9
But as if there wasn’t any doubt at all that he knew.
  C/EC/E    FF        Em7b5Em7b5  A7#5
He gave me a gift that I would treasure.
       Dm9Dm9    G13b9   Cadd9Cadd9
He said, “The rules don’t apply to you.”

Chorus:
    Bm9Bm9        DmM7add6
In the movies we see, in the shows on TV,
    Amaj7Amaj7   Bm7Bm7   C07 AMaj9Amaj9
And in anthems passionately sung,
     Abm11b5             Db7#5  Dm6Dm6  A/EA/E
There’s a message that you’ve got to keep believing in yourself,
     F#m9F#m9   B9B9       Bm9Bm9  Dmaj7/E  Dm9Dm9 Fmaj7/G
But they generally mean, “if you’re young.”

Verse 3:
   Cadd9Cadd9     A7#5.   Dadd2/F# Fm6/9
Is it written in the air, as it seems to be,
    Cadd9/E     A7#5      FMaj9Fmaj9 Fm6/9
That we haven’t long at all to find our destiny?
   C/E.   FF      Em7b5Em7b5  A7#5
I’ll always remember to be grateful
    Dm9.    G13b9. Cadd9Cadd9
That the rules don’t apply to me.

Chorus:
    Bm9Bm9        DmM7add6
In the movies we see, in the shows on TV,
    Amaj7Amaj7   Bm7Bm7    C07 AMaj9Amaj9
And in anthems passionately sung,
     Abm11b5             Db7#5   Dm6Dm6  A/EA/E
There’s a message that you’ve got to keep believing in yourself,
     F#m9F#m9   B9B9       Bm9Bm9  Dmaj7/E  Dm9Dm9 Fmaj7/G
But they generally mean, “if you’re young.”

Verse 4:
  Cadd9Cadd9       A7#5    Dadd2/F# Fm6/9
You say you're feeling broken, so terribly blue
     Cadd9/E     A7#5     FMaj9Fmaj9     Fm6/9
Cause it's far too late to do what you dreamed you would do
     C/EC/E    FF      Em7b5Em7b5 Bb13Bb13   A7#5
But I'll tell you a secret and I swear to God it's true
  Dm9Dm9    G13b9  Cadd9Cadd9 C/Bb Am7Am7 Gm11Gm11
The rules don't apply to you
Gbm7b5   Fm6/9
  I wouldn’t lie.
   C/EC/E     A7#5
The rules don’t apply.
  Dm9Dm9    G13b9.  Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9#5 Cadd9Cadd9
The rules don’t apply to you.
