Verse:
    G                                                        Bm7
You say you know love, but you are just reflecting words you hear,
   G                                                      Bm7
No iron in your veins could give you any sense of pain or fear,
     Em                                       Bm7
It's just another lie, it's just another calculation,
     Em                                             Bm7
And when the power's out, we're just another old sensation,

Verse:
     G                                                      Bm7
This blood keeps me alive, but what is it that runs through you?
    G                                          Bm7
Electricity and wires dictating everything you do,
    Em                                                 Bm7
You tell me that you need me and all your memories are real,
    Em                                                         Bm7
But how do I know you don't just feel what you've been told to feel?

Chorus:
   Am7                                               G
We run around the rules, we run around the rules, we run around the rules.
Am7                             G
Round and round, two by two, we run around the rules.

Verse:
        G                                                       Bm7
There's water in your eyes, and I know I'm the reason that it's there,
    G                                                         Bm7
But still I don't feel bad because I know it's you are more a spare,
    Em                                                    Bm7
And just behind your eyes are switches that can turn back on,
   Em                                          Bm7
To clear away today til' all your memories are gone,

Chorus - 2x -:
   Am7                                               G
We run around the rules, we run around the rules, we run around the rules.
Am7                             G
Round and round, two by two, we run around the rules.
