Hot Water Music – Old Rules (Guitar)

Em         C
    5:30 rings

                G
Pots over gas flames

            D  
Still in a haze

Em               C
   Not walking dead

                   G
But alive and I'm fed

                  D 
Still hungry for more

Em           C     G
  'Cause before I wake again and again and again

        D    
Again and again and again

Em    C         G
  I toss and I turn again and again and again

        D
Again and again and again

Em                          C
    With something calling me,

             G
Maybe a conscience

             D
Maybe that dream

Em                 C
    Of something more

                     G
Well beyond the folklore

               D
That failed to be

C D             Em 
     Something real

C D            Em 
    Solid or still

C             D           
   Something real

          Em
Solid or still

C         D              G
    To ground me with instinct

                 D                        Em
To feel before I think and think before I know

G                      D                 Em
To know, know before I act, act before I grow

G        D                    Em
   In control, with fear I'll hold

G             D              Em
   Cutting me loose from old rules
