This is quite basic as I only stumbled across it today but it seems to be effective.
It sounds great playing it solo acoustic, As this is just for rhythm guitar I have 
not to include the bridge.
ENJOY


Verse 1:

      C
To be lost in the forest
              Em
To be cut adrift
            Am
You've been trying to reach me
       G
You bought me a book
      C
To be lost in the forest
              Em
To be cut adrift
          Am
I've been paid

I've been paid

C Em Am G
C Em Am

C
Don't get offended
                   Em
If I seem absent minded
          Am
Just keep telling me facts
          G
And keep making me smile
C
Don't get offended
                   Em
If I seem absent minded
Am
I get tongue-tied
C                                Em
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
Am                           G
I've known never known what's good for me
C                              Em

Am
I will be yours

Verse 2:

    C                                 Em
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
     Am                        G
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away
    C                                 Em              Am
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness

Jump right on

I will be yours

        Em  Am                      G    C
What are you            Holding out for
        Em  Am                      C
What's always           In the way
        Em  Am                      G    C
Why so damn           Absent-minded?
        Em  Am
Why so scared         Of romance


Chorus:x2
(Same rhythm as verse)

Am G  C Dm

             Am       G   C
This modern love
                   Am       G   C       Dm
breaks me
             Am       G   C
This modern love

wastes me


Outro:

       C                              Em

       Am                             G
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
       C                              Em
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Am                     C
Throw your arms around me
