C             G                   C     F  G
 What kind of fool do you think I am?
C                 G                        C      C7
 You think I know nothing 'bout the modern world.

Am      F                  Am
 All my life it's been the same,
               F                Am
I've learnt to live by hate and pain,
        F           D       F  G
It's my inspiration drive.

C            G                     C      F  G
 I've learnt more than you'll ever know,
C        G                   C      C7
 Even at school I felt quite sure,

Am            F             Am
 That one day I would be on top,
             F             Am
And I'd look down upon the map,
                 F             D      F  G
The teachers who said I'd be nothing.

Hey!

D            E                      A             B5 G A
 This is the modern world that I've learnt about,
D            E                     A              Bm                        G
 This is the modern world we don't need no-one to tell us what's a-right or wrong.


This is the modern world!

 Say what you like cos I don't care,
D               A            D      D7
 I know where I am and going too,

Bm              G
 It's somewhere I won't preview,
Bm               G               Bm
 Don't have to explain myself to you,
                 G                  E     B5 G A
I don't give two fucks about your review.

                                                      D        E
The modern world, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, hey,
         A               Bm                       G
