I know when to go out 
D/C  C 
        And when to stay in 
Dsus4                      D/E  Em 
        Get things done 
C 
  I catch a paper boy 
                        G 
But things don't really change 
                    Am 
I'm standing in the wind 
                     E7   F 
But I never wave bye-bye 
      C      G       Em7  Em   
But I try, I try 
 
C 
  There's no sign of life 
                       G 
It's just the power to charm 
                 Am 
I'm lying in the rain 
                     E7  F 
But I never wave bye-bye 
      C      G 
But I try, I try 
 
Em7  Em 
        Never gonna fall for 
C 
Modern love - walks beside me 
D 
Modern love - walks on by 
Em                           F 
Modern love - gets me to the church on time 
C 
Church on time - terrifies me 
D 
Church on time - makes me party 
Em                                F 
Church on time - puts my trust in God and man 
C 
God and man - no confessions 
D 
God and man - no religion 
Em                             F 
God and man - don't believe in modern love

C 
It's not really work 
                       G 
It's just the power to charm 
                          Am 
I'm still standing in the wind 
                     E7   F 
But I never wave bye bye 
 
      C      G    
But I try, I try
