Modern Love – Matt Nathanson
[Quick notes:
> Original Key is Ab - but you can transpose to F or something for easier singing
> "Fm7" chord can be played as "Fm" for simplicity - you might like that better
> main chords for the song repeat: Ab - Eb - Fm7 - Db, just watch for "bridges" and "hooks"]
Verse 1
Ab Eb
She said this talkin' Just kinda wears me out
Fm7 Db
And all these salesmen Baby make me tired
Ab Eb
They're no good Tell you the truth she said
Fm7 Db
I've been getting' used to liars
Ab Eb
They sing me love songs Store-bought words
Fm7 Db
They make promises Like politicians
Ab Eb
So we stumble and we disconnect
Fm7 Db
Over and over again

They said one big exhale never did me no Good
Verse 2
I let 'em in I
Oh man I let 'em win
I burned my house down
Just to hear 'em scream my name
I've carried hope
And heavy daydreams
