The Modern Age — The Strokes
Chords and lyrics for The Modern Age by The Strokes (key of D).
Verse 1
[D] [D] [D] [D]
[D] Up on a hill is where we begin
[D]This little story a long time ago[G]
[D] Stop to pretend, stop pretending
[D]It seems this game is simply never-ending[G]
Oh, in the [D]sun, sun having fun
[D]It's in my blood
I just can't help it
[D]I want you here right now
Let me[G] go, oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
Leavin' just [D/F#]in time
Stayed there for a[Em] while
Rolling in the[F#m] ocean
Trying to catch her[A] eye
Work hard and say it's[D/F#] easy
Do it just to [Em]please me
Tomorrow will be[F#m] different
So I'll pretend I'm [A]leaving
If you wanna kinda make a solo I do D for the beginning strumming like the
intro.
Then G at the end.
Our fears are[D] different here
We train in A-V-A
[D]I wish you hadn't stayed
My vision's clearer now, but I'm [G]unafraid
[D]Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze
I[D] took too many varieties[G]
Oh, in the [D]sun, sun having fun
It's in my blood
[D]I just can't help it
I want you here right now
Let me[G] go
Oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
Leaving just [D/F#]in time
Staying for a[Em] while
Rolling in the[F#m] ocean
Trying to catch her[A] eye
Work hard and say it's[D/F#] easy
Do it just to [Em]please me
Tomorrow will be[F#m] different
So this is why I'm [A]leaving
