Verse
D 
We got style and we got grace, 
                              G 
We run wild and never dance alone. 
D 
In this town she's f*cking famous, 
                                G 
But this town will never be her home 
 
Pre-Chorus
A 
The sun sets on a promise kept, 
G 
And I try but I don't need... 
 
Chorus
D 
This modern love, this modern love 
             G 
Oh it always lets me down 
D 
This modern love, this modern love 
             G 
Oh it always lets me down

Verse 2
D 
The popularity trap strikes again 
                                        G 
You don't need these fools cause you're encroyable 
 
(Which is French for incredible) 
D 
We found solace at the star and garter 
                                   G 
No malice, I can feel you coming alive 
 
Pre-Chorus
A 
Ignore the warning signs  
G 
and we try but I don't need this... 
 
Chorus
D 
This modern love, this modern love 
             G 
Oh it always lets me down 
D 
This modern love, this modern love 
             G 
Oh it always lets me down 
 
Bridge
D 
A bare mattress, 
               E  B 
A lockless door, two Whittington hearts on pique assiette floor 
G 
Give me back those awkward exchanges, 
               D 
the fumbles on bathtubs, when we were just strangers. 
D                              E         B 
We talk about your graduation and the realization that we might not be together forever and ever.  
G         D 
Amen 
D                       E  B 
Wide eyed and up all night,  
                                        G                          D 
this could be good but I don't want to shy away I hear them say 'romance is dead' and I don't need this... 
 
Chorus
D 
This modern love, this modern love 
             G 
Oh it always lets me down 
D 
This modern love, this modern love 
             G 
Oh it always lets me down
