First Aid Kit - Random Rules Chords

[verse 1]
F    Am        Bb
 In 1984, I was hospitalized
                   F
for approaching perfection
F                   Am
 Slowly screwing my way across Europe,
Bb                    F
 they had to make a correction
F          Am
 Broken and smokin' where the infrared
Bb                         F
 deer plunge in the digital snake
F                               Am
 I tell you, they make it so you can't
            Bb                        F
shake hands when they make your hands shake

[chorus]
Gm                 Bb
 I know you like to line dance
Gm            Bb
 Everything so democratic and cool
Gm                    Bb            F
 But, baby, there's no guidance when random rules

[verse 2]
F             Am
I know that a lot of what
              Bb                        F
I say has been lifted off of men's room walls
F                Am
Well, maybe I've crossed the wrong rivers
    Bb                        F
and walked down all the wrong halls
F               Am
But nothing can change the fact that
   Bb              F
we used to share a bed
F             Am
That's why it scared me so when
    Bb               F
you turned to me and said:

[bridge]
Gm                   Bb
"Yeah, you look like someone
Gm
Yeah,
              Bb
you look like someone who up and left me low
Gm                 Bb        F
Boy, you look like someone I used to know"

[verse 3]
F           Am
 I asked the painter why
    Bb                F
the roads are colored black
F                     Am
He said, "Steve, it's because people leave
       Bb                      F
And no highway will bring them back"
F               Am         Bb             F
So if you don't want me, I promise not to linger
F            Am
But before I go, I've gotta ask you, dear,
            Bb                F
about that tan line on your ring finger

[outro]
Gm                Bb
No one should have two lives
Gm               Bb
Now you know my middle names are Wrong and Right
Gm               Bb           F
Honey, we've got two lives to give tonight
    F
To give tonight Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
