Strumming pattern for verse is a single down strum for each chord
                       C
Because we're all so very, 
                 E
twenty first century,
        Am
you're probably listening to me,
                 D
on some form of portable stereo.
               C
Maybe you're sitting on the back of the bus,
                         E 
or it's running up your sleeve and you're across from your boss,
            Am
or you're sitting in your bedroom all alone,
                     F7M
with the lights down low (oh so low).

Same strumming pattern for bridge

bridge:
             Dm
i'd like to teach you four simple words,
        G
so the next time you come to a show,
         C
you can sing those words back at me,
                 F7M
like they're the only words that you know.
