[Intro]
D G
[Verse]
D
We got style and we got grace,
G
We run wild and never dance alone.
D
In this town she's fucking famous,
G
But this town will never be her home
[Pre-Chorus]
A
The sun sets on a promise kept,
G
And I try but I don't need...
[Chorus]
D
This modern love, this modern love
G
Oh it always lets me down
D
This modern love, this modern love
G
Oh it always lets me down
[Interlude]
D G
[Verse 2]
D
The popularity trap strikes again
G
You don't need these fools cause you're encroyable
(Which is French for incredible)
D
We found solace at the star and garter
G
No malice, I can feel you coming alive
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Ignore the warning signs
G
and we try but I don't need this...
[Chorus]
D
This modern love, this modern love
G
Oh it always lets me down
D
This modern love, this modern love
G
Oh it always lets me down
[Bridge]
D
A bare mattress,
E B
A lockless door, two Whittington hearts on pique assiette floor
G
Give me back those awkward exchanges,
D
the fumbles on bathtubs, when we were just strangers.
D E B
We talk about your graduation and the realization that we might not be together forever and ever.
G D
Amen
D E B
Wide eyed and up all night,
G D
this could be good but I don't want to shy away I hear them say 'romance is dead' and I don't need this...
[Chorus]
D
This modern love, this modern love
G
Oh it always lets me down
D
This modern love, this modern love
G
Oh it always lets me down
[Outro]
