[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
