Intro:
Cadd9  Bb7/C    Cadd9   Cadd9#5

Verse 1:
    Cadd9         A7#5        Dadd2/F#  Fm6/9
One day I told my friend I was terribly blue.
       Cadd9/E          A7#5    Fmaj9       Fm6/9
Was it far too late to do what I dreamed I would do?
     C/E         F              Em7b5  A7#5
He thought for a moment, then he answered.
             C/D         D9     Dm9  Fm69/G
He said, “The rules don’t apply to you.”

Verse 2:
   Cadd9         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/E       F                Em7b5    A7#5
He gave me a gift that I would treasure.
             Dm9        G13b9     Cadd9
He said, “The rules don’t apply to you.”

Chorus:
        Bm9               DmM7add6
In the movies we see, in the shows on TV,
        Amaj7     Bm7      C07  Amaj9
And in anthems passionately sung,
         Abm11b5                         Db7#5    Dm6    A/E
There’s a message that you’ve got to keep believing in yourself,
         F#m9      B9              Bm9   Dmaj7/E   Dm9  Fmaj7/G
But they generally mean, “if you’re young.”

Verse 3:
      Cadd9          A7#5.      Dadd2/F# Fm6/9
Is it written in the air, as it seems to be,
       Cadd9/E          A7#5           Fmaj9  Fm6/9
That we haven’t long at all to find our destiny?
      C/E.     F           Em7b5   A7#5
I’ll always remember to be grateful
        Dm9.        G13b9.  Cadd9
That the rules don’t apply to me.

Chorus:
       Bm9                DmM7add6
In the movies we see, in the shows on TV,
       Amaj7     Bm7       C07  Amaj9
And in anthems passionately sung,
         Abm11b5                         Db7#5     Dm6    A/E
There’s a message that you’ve got to keep believing in yourself,
         F#m9      B9              Bm9   Dmaj7/E   Dm9  Fmaj7/G
But they generally mean, “if you’re young.”

Verse 4:
    Cadd9              A7#5       Dadd2/F#  Fm6/9
You say you're feeling broken, so terribly blue
          Cadd9/E         A7#5          Fmaj9          Fm6/9
Cause it's far too late to do what you dreamed you would do
         C/E        F            Em7b5  Bb13     A7#5
But I'll tell you a secret and I swear to God it's true
    Dm9        G13b9    Cadd9  C/Bb  Am7  Gm11
The rules don't apply to you
Gbm7b5      Fm6/9
   I wouldn’t lie.
     C/E         A7#5
The rules don’t apply.
    Dm9       G13b9.   Cadd9  Cadd9#5  Cadd9
The rules don’t apply to you.
