This Modern World Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]On a crosstown train
in the [G]middle of the city
[C]Blank looks all around today
[Em]It's in style but [G]it isn't very pretty,
[C]that's the way
[D]Keep your [Am]privacy
[Em]when there ain't no room
[G]and there ain't no [C]hope
You gotta save face [Em]to cope
with the speed of [G]life
and the age [C]of speed
You [B]fight for what [Bm]you n[A]eed[Asus2]
[A]I'm just a [C]low -fashion boy
[D]Can't get up [Em]for the downstrok[G]e
I don't think [C]that I can't compete
[D]in this modern [Em]world[D][B]
[Em]She's fit as [G]a fax file fiddle
[C]Short pumps, white hair to boot
[Em]Crop top on a [G]washboard middle
[C]Man, she's cute,
but [D]I don't think t[D#dim]hat she's[Em]
Cut the [G]smile, laugh out [C]loud
Share the sweat of a rockin' [Em]crowd
Down in New Or[G]leans,
I've seen the [C]green
Of [Bm]a newborn spring [A]in years
Why don't you [C]say what [D]you mean?
You're just [Em]mild in the right word[G]s
Looks like you're [C]perfectly made
[D]for this modern [Em]world
[G]I'm just an [C]old -fashioned boy
[D]Strictly kic[Em]kin' it old school
[G]I don't think tha[C]t I can't compete
[D]in this modern [Em]world[G]
But I'm not obsolete [C]yet, I'm just [D]tired
[C]And [G]I can't sleep, I'm [C]paranoid, I'm [D]wired
I [Em]hear this buzzin' [C]in my brain
My [Em]heart confused and [C]overcame
[Em]Still the salt will [C]kill the pain
[A]Yea[Asus2]h[A][C][D][Em][G]
[C]
[D][Em][G][C][D][Em][G]
[C][D]
Stay [Em]alone[G][D#dim]
[Em]Run [D]right through the milking [Em]hon ey
We run right out of faith and love
But we ain't gonna run out of money

[Verse 2]
Pushed gun, shoved gun, at your [Em]feet
Sweet Jesus tell [G]me
Is it really gonna [C]rain down
Fire and [Bm]brimstone on our

[Verse 3]
[A]heads

[Verse 4]
Why don't you [C]say what you mean
[D]You're just mil[Em]d in the right wor[G]ds
Looks like you're [C]perfectly made
[D]for this modern [Em]world
[G]I'm just an [C]old -fashioned boy
[D]Can't get up,[Em] hold a d[G]own stroke
I don't [C]think that I can compete
[D]in this modern [Em]world[B]
[G]This modern [C]world
[D]This modern [Em]world
