Modern Love ? Matt Nathanson

     [Quick notes:
     
     > Original Key is Ab - but you can transpose to F or something for easier singing 

     > "Fm7" chord can be played as "Fm" for simplicity - you might like that better

     > main chords for the song repeat: Ab - Eb - Fm7 - C#, just watch for "bridges" and "hooks"]


Verse 1

Ab                                 Eb
She said this talkin' Just kinda wears me out
Fm7                                C#
And all these salesmen Baby make me tired
Ab                                 Eb
They're no good Tell you the truth she said
Fm7                                C#
I've been getting' used to liars
Ab                                 Eb
They sing me love songs Store-bought words
Fm7                                C#
They make promises Like politicians
Ab                                 Eb
So we stumble and we disconnect
Fm7                C#
Over and over again

Chorus

Ab                  Eb               
This modern love Is not enough
Fm7 
She said watch your back
C#
I'm nobody's girlfriend
Ab                  Eb
This modern love Is not enough
Fm7               C#
Oh oh oh oh oh
Fm7     Eb
They said one big exhale never did me no Good

Verse 2

I let 'em in I
Oh man I let 'em win
I burned my house down
Just to hear 'em scream my name
I've carried hope
And heavy daydreams
She said
But I'm done with sleepin'

Bridge 1
Fm7     
Take the phone calls
C#
Take this circus
Fm7
Take the drama
Eb
Cuz baby it's just worthless

CHORUS

Fm7     Eb
One big exhale never did me no good

Bridge 2
C#      Eb
And the bright light shines
Ab      Fm7
Still we ache n we break n we Try
C#      Eb
The stage lights shine And they blind our eyes
Ab      Eb
To it all Oh oh
C#                           
Still we ache n we break n we 
Eb
just can't Get it right

Chorus 

This modern love Is not enough
She said watch your back
I'm nobody's girlfriend
This modern love
Is not enough
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

Hook 2 / Outro

This modern love
Yeah it's a taco truck
Come on take the phone calls
N I'll take the silence
This modern love
Is not enough
Oh oh oh oh Oh yeah
One big exhale
Never did me no good
One exhale
One big exhale yeah
One exhale
Never did me no good
Oh never did me no good
