VERSE 1
G G9 G
It was a modern love affair
Am C
Completely cool and casual
G G9 G
They hardly knew each other was there
Am C
I mean both of them had their own getting off to do
Am G
And they had to dream about their own self
Am C
When they were through
VERSE 2
C D
But the modern girl was elated
G C D
With what the revolution gave her
G C D G
And since she was liberated she could have
C D
Everything that striked her fancy
VERSE 3
G G9 G
And she fancied quite a bit
Am C
I mean if it felt good she did it
G G9 G
And she did it every chance she could get
Am C
With her main modern man and otherwise
Am C
And her taste wasn't limited to just modern guys
VERSE 4
C D
Since another modern girl showed her
G C D
That modern girls know how to hold her
G C D
And after she had her eyes opened
G C D
All her old close friends started getting closer
Am C D G Gsus4 G
And new friends weren't that far far away
VERSE 5
G D
But the modern man he just wasn't so lucky
Em D Am D
He being shook from his usual role as a heartbreaker
G D
He was completely battered and bewildered
Em D Am D
When he actually started in feeling something for her
Em C
And he then, he discovered a new emotion
G D
When they stopped ending up together as frequently
Em C
And when he finally confronted her with the question
G D Em
Had she been bedding down with others in the periphery without him?
C
And she replied, Hell yes ain't it funny?
VERSE 6
G G9 G Am C
So view the modern man looking, looking, looking, like a soft, soft Picasso
G G9 G
He's there with his head in his hand
Am C
Repeating to himself an epigram
Am C G9
Live by the scam, die by the scam
