     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
Said the rules mama preaches
                      D  Dsus4  D
Don't die when they break
      G
The things mama teaches
                 B
You just gotta shake

Chorus:
         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        A#  C
She wasn't a fool
                    F   Fsus4  F
That shining young woman
     G            A#  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

Chorus:
She wasn't a fool
That goddess of hell
There are no mother's rules
She makes them herself

If I was down upon my knees
To beg her surrender up to me

Something inside her
Told he she shouldn't
Tried and alight her
But the girl wouldn't

Chorus:
She wasn't a fool
But love flowed from her face
She's not scared of me
She's afraid of disgrace

     G       A#  C
She wasn't a fool
                     F   Fsus4  F
That female for our world
     G            A#   C
She followed her rules
                 F  C
That glittering girl
                 F  C
That glittering girl
                 F  C
That glittering girl
                 D
That glittering girl
