Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Out of the rain I burst in through the front door,

Soaking and bleeding again I hit the floor spinning

Backpack on my back, it's weighing me down

Weighing me down, weighing me down.

I think it's that I don't know kids and they don't know me

But I know one thing, that I'm safer in my room

I've got the internet, I meet friends on msn,

Friends' friends, friends' friends, they tell me

I can put stuff in your backpack that'll scare the

Shit out of kids, that chase you in the street

That'd help me out... That'd help me out

That'd help me out... That'd help me out

But after a while I get tired,

They try to get me to study but I've got

Things to do... I've got homework too

'Cause they don't know my dad

He's this town through and through

Old school fifty-something balding racist

And so his mates are too

But me I'm a modern man!

Me I'm a modern man!

I'm a modern man a wo-ooah

I'm a modern man a wo-ooah

And I think I'm intelligent

I think I'm open minded

And I think I've got a world view

And there's not many people like me round here I can tell you

And I think I'm the future

And I think I'm dead

if I lose track

'Cause they don't know my dad

He's this town through and through

Old school fifty-something balding racist

And so his mates are too

But me I'm a modern man!

Me I'm a modern man!

I'm a modern man a wo-ooah

I'm a modern man a wo-ooah

Yeah me I'm a modern man

Me I'm a modern man

I'm a modern man a wo-ooah

I'm a modern man a wo-oo-oo-aaahhh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
