Tuning: EADGBe (Standard)

I wasn't able to determine the rest of the guitar part, so I settled with the intro riff
the chords. Enjoy. There are, obviously, alternate places on the neck where the riff
be played, by I find this easiest because you can bar across the top two strings on the 
fret and use your third and fourth fingers on the rest of the notes. I'm not
sure of the lyrics either.

You are?

A5                                        D5
Modern girls always have to go (right on time)
                                                  A5
Old-fashioned men always want a mistress(you were right)
                                         D5
Modern girls always get their way (I was wrong)
                                         A5
Modern men dream of what they can't say (???)
        D5
That's alright (Right, right, right, right)
         A5
I don't belong

B5
Why you gotta say it if you know it's something wrong?
E5
Says that he'll apologize and it won't take too long
B5                                 E5
Well you don't wanna trust nobody else

A5
(Time) There's a few things that are gonna have to change
          D5
(I'm your son) Everyone has the same opinion
            A5
(Won't you please?) Your time is almost over
           D5
(Don't be mean) We won't get the chance to do this over
         A5
That's alright (Right, right, right, right)
         D5
I don't belong

B5
I don't want the imprint of your key upon my nose
E5
You don't have to tell no one 'cause no one wants to know
B5
That you don't have no happiness at all

             D5       A5
Oh yes we're falling down (Oh yes we're falling down) [x7]
            D5      A5
So fucking help me up

B5                   E5
Always thinking bout yourself (You don't love me)
B5                   E5
Always thinking bout yourself (I am an animal)
B5                   E5
Always thinking bout yourself (I am not practical)

Was I?
