We Were Bound To Bend The Rules

Cmaj7   Em
Cmaj7   Em
Cmaj7   Em
Cmaj7
Em
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

[Verse]

Cmaj7
Half-full loses weight once you taste it
        Em
So for now my empty glass must mean I've chased it
  Cmaj7
But I'm not wasted and I'll not waste it
          Em
The dealer laced it with a new decree of our separation (How many have you taken?)
Cmaj7
And I could run off at the mouth
Em
For hours on end, like I'd gone senseless
   Cmaj7
But I'm just speechless, rendered me defenseless
Em
Barred from your presence, my namе from present-tensеs
    Cmaj7
And yes, I've sensed this since early August
     Em
I'm not dense and it's obvious that you're more than just friends
     Cmaj7
But I'm not against this, I'll remove our fences
          Em
And just hide in these sentencing sentences, till things can start making sense

[Chorus]

Cmaj7    Em            D                Em  D   Cmaj7
It's a roseate opiate ruse of roguish rouge
       Em            D                  Em  D   Cmaj7
That brings back my black and bruised blues
      Em              D                    Em  D   Cmaj7
The sea, our torpid frames pale upon the beach
      Em               D                  Em   D   Cmaj7
Entwined in love's sands, between those sheets

[Post-Chorus]

Em    Cmaj7
Em

[Verse]

Cmaj7
Remember, I mean, really think back now
Em
To the very last time you were happy
     Cmaj7
And yeah, I know, got the job, got the family
Em
Got no free time, and still they'll take what's left, now
       Cmaj7
We're running on empty but I know we can make it
Em                                          Cmaj7
Can't turn around, and we can't change our destination
Cmaj7
But when our transmission ends
Em                                              Cmaj7
They'll rescue us and we'll start from where we land

[Chorus]

         Em            D                Em  D   Cmaj7
It's a roseate opiate ruse of roguish rouge
       Em            D                  Em  D   Cmaj7
That brings back my black and bruised blues
           Em          D                    Em    D   Cmaj7
You can't rob the coppery tide of her cherry-ish hues
      Em              D            Em  D   Cmaj7
The shores of these sheets recant refuse
      Em           D              Em D   Cmaj7
Forget about the wedding rings we lose
      Em       D           Em   D   Cmaj7
Only greater love will see us through
          Em              D                  Em   D   Cmaj7
It don't matter now how long we've played the fools
      Em                D             Em   Cmaj7
We both know we were bound to bend the rules
      Em            D    Em   D                                Cmaj7
You should know by now, we never lose      (No never, never)
         Em           D                 Em    D                       Cmaj7
You can mock the malleable calms of ancient rule   (Forever and ever)
      Em                   D             Em    D
Or forgive them for they know not what they do   (Whatever, whatever)
      Em              D       Em    D                              Cmaj7
So Rosemary's baby to sing the truth   (For worse or for better)
           Em     D              Em          D     Cmaj7
Now, the idiosyncrasy when they serve the savants
         Em          D               Em      D        Cmaj7
And the mouth of the iris learns to let the light in
         Em          D                      Em       D    Cmaj7
May the end of our times make way for the rules that we bend
      Em               D           Em    D    Cmaj7
Times are always changing, but life never ends
