Capo on 2nd fret
[C]Out of the [Am]rain I burst in through the front door,
[C]Soaking and[Am] bleeding again I hit the floor spinning
[G]Backpack on my back, it's weighing me down
[G]Weighing me down, weighing me down.
[C] [Am]
[C] [Am]
[C]I think it's that[Am] I don't know kids and they don't know me
But I [C]know on[Am]e thing, that I'm safer in my room
I've got the [G]internet, I meet friends on msn,
[G]Friends' friends, friends' friends, they tell me
[C]I can put [Am]stuff in your backpack that'll scare the
[C]Shit out of [Am]kids, that chase you in the street
That'd [G]help me out... That'd [F]help me out
That'd [Am]help me out... That'd [F]help me out
But [C]after a while I get tired,
[G]Th[C]ey try to get me to study but I've got
[Am]Things to do... I've got [G]homework too
'Cause [Em]they don't know my dad
He's t[F]his town through and th[C]rough
[Em]Old school fifty-something balding racist
And [F]so his mates are [C]too
But me I'm a modern [G]man![Am][Em]

And I think I'm in[G]telligent
I think I'm open [Am]minded
And I think I've got a [G]world view
And there's not many people like [Am]me round here I can tell you
And I think I'm the f[G]uture[Am]
And I think I'm [G]dead
if I lose [Am]track
'Cause [Em]they don't know my dad
He's t[F]his town through and th[C]rough
[Em]Old school fifty-something balding racist
And [F]so his mates are [C]too
But me I'm a modern [G]man![Am][Em]
