[Verse 1]
G Bm A
Can’t go out and not be seen ‘cause you gotta give her space, uh huh
G Bm A
Can’t go back to being friends, it don’t work that way, uh huh
G Bm A
You can’t call her up tell her everything you’re thinking
G Bm A
Can’t show up at her place every time you’re drinking
G Bm A
You can’t keep hoping that she might be calling by

[Chorus]
G Bm A
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up never kissed your lips
G Bm A
Touched your skin, held the world at their fingertips
G Bm A
Didn’t have a clue what heaven was
G Bm A
No they didn’t have to lose that kind of love
G Bm A
And if they ever saw that smile, ever felt your fire
G Bm A
They might know what I’m going through
G Bm A
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
G Bm A
Ever been broke up, broke up over you

[Verse 2]
G Bm A
I guess I’m ‘sposed to go right out and try to meet somebody new, mm mm
G Bm A
Is she going to be as confident, intelligent and as cool as heck as you? No no, no no
G Bm A
I know he said that in the end it’s probably for the best, but I gotta get this off my chest

[Chorus]
G Bm A
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up never kissed your lips
G Bm A
Touched your skin, held the world at their fingertips
G Bm A
Didn’t have a clue what heaven was
No they didn’t have to lose that kind of love
G Bm A
And if they ever saw that smile, ever felt your fire
G Bm A
They might know what I’m going through
G Bm A
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
G Bm A
Ever been broke up, broke up

[Bridge]
G Bm A
They say we need time apart, but I can’t stop hoping (hoping)
G Bm A
Hoping that rules are just like hearts, and they can be broken

[Verse 3]
G Bm A
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up never kissed your lips
G Bm A
Touched your skin, held the world at their fingertips
G Bm A
Didn’t have a clue what heaven was
G Bm A
No they didn’t have to lose that kind of love
G Bm A
And if they ever saw that smile, ever felt your fire
G Bm A
They might know what I’m going through (know what I’m going through)
G Bm A
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
G Bm A
Ever been broke up (broke up), broke up over you
G Bm A
(Broke up, broke up, broke up)

[Outro]
Oh no
G Bm A7
They never been broke up (broke up, broke up)
G Bm A7
Whoever wrote the rules of breaking up
