Album: The Suburbs
       AF#mE
Intro:    x2
A     F#m                E      A
 I'll wait my turn I'm a modern man
         F#m                      E    A
 And the people behind they don't understand
          F#m        E
 Makes me feel like 
A         F#m        E
 Makes me feel like
A      F#m               E      A
  So I wait in line I'm a modern man
         F#m                      E    A
 And the people behind they can't understand
          F#m        E
 Makes me feel like 
A               F#m         E
 Something don't feel right
A F#m E A
  F#m E A
       F#m                         E      A
Like a record that's skippin'I'm a modern man
        F#m                       E      A
And the clock keeps tickin' I'm a modern man
          F#m        E
 Makes me feel light
A         F#m        E
 Makes me feel right
Bridge:
 D
 In my dream I was almost there
           A
 Then they pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere
 D
 They say we are the chosen few
           E                              A
 But we're wasted, and that's we're still waitin'
 F#m                  E      A
 On a number from the modern man
 F#m                              E    A
 Maybe when you're older you will understand
               F#m        E
 Why you don't feel right
A                       F#m        E
 Why you can't sleep at night now
A F#m E A
A F#m E A
F# E A
Chorus:
A5    C#5        E5             G#5        F#5
In a line for a number but you don't understand
E5      G#5   A5
Like a  moder man
     C#5       E5              G#5        F#5
In a line for a number but you don't understand
E5      G#5   A5
Like a  moder man
A     F#m               E   A
 Oh I had a dream I was dreamin'
      F#m                       E   A
 And I feel like I'm losing the feelin'
          F#m        E
 Makes me feel like 
A                F#m         E
 Something don't feel right
A  F#m                   E      A
 I waste a number of the modern man
       F#m                     E      A
 Gonna break the mirror of the modern man
          F#m        E
 Makes me feel like 
A         F#m        E
 Makes me feel like
