This town has so much at stake in you
Em Am F
Do you have any idea what they put you through?
C
They tell you, you will go far, a little star
Em
How I wonder what you are
Am F
When I watch you wearing their jewels
C
They want you to have long hair, short skirts
Em
Clear skin, nothing hurts
Am F
Following their every rule
CHORUS:
Em F
Why don't you make the rules?
C Em Am
Why don't you make the rules?

So now, it's so sad to see you this way
Em Am F
I call but you never have time to play
C
They gave you all these big dreams, big plans
Em
Beneficial programs
Am F
A studio with mirrors for walls
C
Your doctors tell you work it through, smooth it out
Em
Feel your pain, let it out
Am F
They never let you learn how to crawl
CHORUS:
Em F
They never let you make the rules
C Em Am
Why don't you make the rules?

It's midnight, your light's on and I'm standing here in your yard
Em Am F
I sold my computer for a used acoustic guitar
C
You only need your toothbrush, fifty bucks
Em
That velvet shirt that brings you luck
Am F
The voice that's your mother's investment
C
By morning we'll be long gone, on the run
Em
City bound, I know someone
Am F
I'm sure we could stay in her apartment
CHORUS:
Em F
And then we'll make the rules
