C#m G#m Something's telling me I got to turn away From the life I had, I shouldn't hesitate Walk like an animal into the world of glass Seems so fragile, yeah, nothing was built to last C#m G#m All the lovers you had, all the lives that you led mean nothing It's trickling down and I can't hear a sound they make Chorus: C#m In the modern days (We live for these modern days G#m Oh babe, we live for these modern days) In the modern days (We live for these modern days Oh babe, we live for these modern days) (We live for these modern days, oh babe we live for these modern days) This is bigger than the fear of atom bombs The truth is on sale at your local restaurant The time for selling out has been and gone and died Music lover in a whirlwind not your time Afraid of the shadows I send, I know I got to get up to the ceiling again (In the modern days) Put me out of my misery now, I won't slip away But I know what I want you say And the atoms in my heart all pray together I'll hold you forever Chorus: In the modern days (We live for these modern days Oh babe, we live for these modern days) In the modern days (We live for these modern days Oh babe, we live for these modern days) In the modern days (We live for these modern days Oh babe we live for these modern days) Way up in my room, telling all my secrets In the modern days In the modern days (We live for these modern days Oh babe, we live for these modern days) In the modern days (We live for these modern days Oh babe, we live for these modern days) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#m  G#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
