Capo on 2nd fret

C          Am
Out of the rain I burst in through the front door,
C          Am
Soaking and bleeding again I hit the floor spinning
G
Backpack on my back, it's weighing me down
G
Weighing me down, weighing me down.

C Am
C Am

C                Am
I think it's that I don't know kids and they don't know me
      C      Am
But I know one thing, that I'm safer in my room
             G
I've got the internet, I meet friends on msn,
G
Friends' friends, friends' friends, they tell me
C         Am
I can put stuff in your backpack that'll scare the
C           Am
Shit out of kids, that chase you in the street
       G                     F
That'd help me out... That'd help me out
       Am                    F
That'd help me out... That'd help me out

    C
But after a while I get tired,
G C
They try to get me to study but I've got
Am                       G
Things to do... I've got homework too

       Em
'Cause they don't know my dad
      F                      C
He's this town through and through
Em
Old school fifty-something balding racist
    F                C
And so his mates are too
                    G       Am Em
But me I'm a modern man!
                G           Am Em
Me I'm a modern man!
      F                  Am
I'm a modern man a wo-ooah
      F                  Am
I'm a modern man a wo-ooah

                  G
And I think I'm intelligent
                 Am
I think I'm open minded
                       G
And I think I've got a world view
                                 Am
And there's not many people like me round here I can tell you
                     G             Am
And I think I'm the future
                G
And I think I'm dead
          Am
if I lose track

       Em
'Cause they don't know my dad
      F                      C
He's this town through and through
Em
Old school fifty-something balding racist
    F                C
And so his mates are too
                    G       Am Em
But me I'm a modern man!
