      E minorEm          A minorAm
I'm not in love with the modern world

I'm not in love with the modern world
     E minorEm        A minorAm         E minorEm  A minorAm
It was a torch driving the savages back to the trees
    E minorEm        A minorAm
Modern world has modern ways
      E minorEm          A minorAm
And I don't mention it since it's changed

While the people go out and the people come home again

Verse 2:
      E minorEm          A minorAm

    E minorEm       A minorAm
And a lifetime of red skies
      E minorEm         A minorAm          E minorEm  A minorAm
And from my bed, saying you're haunted, hissing in my bed
    E minorEm       A minorAm
Modern world don't ask why
   E minorEm               A minorAm
Cause modern world will build things high
     E minorEm      A minorAm      E minorEm   A minorAm
Now they house canyons filled with life
