D G


[Verse]
D
We got style and we got grace,
                              G
We run wild and never dance alone.
D
In this town she's fucking famous,
                                G
But this town will never be her home


[Pre-Chorus]
A
The sun sets on a promise kept,
G
And I try but I don't need...


[Chorus]
D
This modern love, this modern love
             G
Oh it always lets me down
D
This modern love, this modern love
             G
Oh it always lets me down


[Interlude]
D G


[Verse 2]
D
The popularity trap strikes again
                                        G
You don't need these fools cause you're encroyable

(Which is French for incredible)
D
We found solace at the star and garter
                                   G
No malice, I can feel you coming alive


[Pre-Chorus]
A
Ignore the warning signs 
G
and we try but I don't need this...


[Chorus]
D
This modern love, this modern love
             G
Oh it always lets me down
D
This modern love, this modern love
             G
Oh it always lets me down


[Bridge]
D
A bare mattress,
               E  B
A lockless door, two Whittington hearts on pique assiette floor
G
Give me back those awkward exchanges,
               D
the fumbles on bathtubs, when we were just strangers.
D                              E         B          
We talk about your graduation and the realization that we might not be together forever and ever. 
G         D
Amen
D                       E  B
Wide eyed and up all night, 
                                        G                          D
this could be good but I don't want to shy away I hear them say 'romance is dead' and I don't need this...


[Chorus]
D
This modern love, this modern love
             G
Oh it always lets me down
D
This modern love, this modern love
             G
Oh it always lets me down
