E        G     A 
She wasn't a fool 
                D    Dsus4  D 
That glittering girl 
    E            G        A 
She followed the rules 
                D     Dsus4  D 
That shimmering pearl 
 
         G                        G 
Said the rules mama preaches 
                    D        Dsus4  D 
Don't die when they break 
    G                   
The things mama teaches 
               B 
You just gotta shake 
 
        E        G     A 
But she wasn't a fool 
                 D 
That slender lovely girl 
    E            G     A 
She followed her rules 
               B 
And made money bigger 
 
    G        Bb    C 
She wasn't a fool 
                   F   Fsus4  F 
That shining young woman 
    G            Bb   C 
She followed her rules 
                  D 
She is crying for no man 
 
Said the rules mama teaches 
Don't die when they're broken 
She explodes into peaches 
And cries when I've spoken 
 
She wasn't a fool 
That goddess of hell 
There are no mother's rules 
She makes them herself 
 
B... 
 
If I was down upon my knees 
To beg her surrender up to me 
 
{solo; verse pattern} 
 
Something inside her 
Told he she shouldn't 
Tried and alight her 
But the girl wouldn't 
 
She wasn't a fool 
But love flowed from her face 
She's not scared of me 
She's afraid of disgrace 
 
    G       Bb      C 
She wasn't a fool 
                    F       Fsus4  F 
That female for our world 
    G            Bb      C 
She followed her rules 
                F        C 
That glittering girl 
                F        C 
That glittering girl 
                F        C 
That glittering girl 
                D 
That glittering girl
