[Verse 1]
Am
I'm not allowed to love
         D
Not allowed to fall
A
It seems that after all some rules must be unbroken
A                              Gbm
I'm not allowed to swoon, romanticise or croon
                                      D        A       E
The beauty of your eyes must still remain unspoken
    Bm                 E
But my head will be unbowed
                  Gbm               E
I'm certainly no fool, I'm no fool
       D          Dbm         Gbm                      Bm E   A
For, I know, I'll always be allowed to find exceptions to the rules

I'm not allowed to love

After all these years

There's just so little time, I can't afford to be wrong
Bb              Dm                       Gm
I'm not allowed to cry, tremble, weep or sigh
                                            Fm
These signs of weakness are avoided, I must be strong
Cm                    F
And my head will be unbowed
                 Gm           F
I'm certainly no fool, I'm no fool
                  Bb          Gm                       Cm F   Bb
For, I know, I'll always be allowed to find exceptions to the rules

Say what you will, I'll hang on every word, I'll hang on every letter
Bb                        F    Gm
But nothing's gonna change the truth
Cm     F      Bb
My love is better
                F          Gm     Cm
Nothing's gonna change the truth
   Fm   Dm      Bb  Bbm  Bb
My love is better
