I sat in the waiting

17.2 Modern World


[Intro] D  A G  A G A x2


[Chorus]
D               A           G      A
I don't want to live in the modern world
D               A           G      A
I don't want to live in the modern world
D               A           G      A
I don't want to live in the modern world
D               A           G      A
I don't want to live in the modern world


[Verse 1] Mike Dirnt the bassist sings here instead of Billie
        D         A
I'm the class of 13
       G         D
In the era of dissent
  D              A
A hostage of the soul
      G                A
On a strike to pay the rent
    D           A
The last of the rebels
    G            D
Without a common ground
    D             A
I'm gonna light a fire
  G      A    D
Into the underground well


(Repeat Chorus)


[Post Chorus]
Bm       F#m
  I Am A nation
        G            D   A/C#
Without bureaucratic ties
Bm         F#m        G
  Deny the allegation as
               A
it's written a fucking lies


[Guitar Solo] D  A  G  A   x3, D  A  G  A D

[Verse 2] Mike sings again
  D              A
I want to take a ride
       G       D
to the great divide
  D               A
Beyond the "up to date"
        G         A
And the neo gentrified
    D        A
The high definition for
    G       D
the low resident
          D             A
Where the value of your mind
   G        A     D
Is not held in contempt


[Verse 3] Still Mike Dirnt
D              A
I can hear the sound
     G       D
of A beating heart
     D               A
That bleeds beyond a system
       G        A
That's falling apart
     D        A
With money to burn
     G       D
On a minimum wage
      D(hold)
Cause I don't give a shit
About the modern age


(Repeat Chorus)


[Outro]
Mass hysteria
D               A
I don't want to live
       G      A
in the modern world
Mass hysteria
D               A
I don't want to live
       G      A
in the modern world
Mass hysteria
D               A
I don't want to live
       G      A
in the modern world
Mass hysteria
(Repeat)

[Verse 1]
       C#          G#
Well I crossed the river
       C#     G#
Fell into the sea
          C#    G#
Where the non believers
     C#     G#
Go beyond belief
        C#           G#
Then I scratched the surface
       C#       G#
In the mouth of Hell
        C#     G#
Running out of service
       C#      G#
In the blood I fell


[Chorus]
     C#        F#      C#      G#   C# G#
Well I, I just want to see the light
    C#         F#      C#      G#   C# G#
And I, I don't want to lose my sight
     C#        F#      C#      G#   C# G#
Well I, I just want to see the light
    C#        F#          C#        Eb
And I need to know what's worth the fight


[Verse 2]
C#        G#
I've been wasted
          C#  G#
Pills and alcohol
C#        G#
I've been chasing
         C#   G#
Down the pool halls
       C#        G#
Then I drank the water
       C#   G#
From a hurricane
      C#    G#
And I set a fire
        C#      G#
Just to see the flame

[Verse 3]
  C#          G#
I crossed the desert
         C#     G#
Reaching higher ground
       C#        G#
Then I pound the pavement
            C#    G#
To take the liars down
         C#      G#
But it's gone forever
          C#  G#
But never too late
          C#   G#
Where the ever after
         C#       G#
It's the hands of fate
