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
