G 
Breaking the rules 
C                             G 
Every time I hug and kiss you darling 
                         D7 
While you wear another's name 
          G 
If you're breaking the rules 
   C                               G 
In any kind of game you're playing reckless 
           D7               G 
And taking chances just the same 

C                           G 
Can it be a sin to love you like I do 
A7                                D7 
And we'd just be called a pair of fools 
G                   C                      G 
If it's so wrong to want to be with you my darling 
             D7                  G 
Then I guess I'll go on breaking rules 

C                           G 
Can it be a sin to love you like I do 
A7                                D7 
And we'd just be called a pair of fools 
G                   C                      G 
If it's so wrong to want to be with you my darling 
             D7                  G 
Then I guess I'll go on breaking rules
