| D5  | (8x)


[Verse 1]
D5
I stand up for my pride
D5
I don't want to be just like anyone
D5
In this world I cannot hide
D5
I must finish what I have begun
                   G  Em  A
That's the way I play
               D5
In the modern day
                    G   Em  A
Because I want to stay
               D5
In the modern day
D5
Got a picture in my mind
D5
Of the way that I wanna be
D5
So I search until I find
D5
The power inside of me
               G   Em  A
It's another phase
              D5
Of the modern day


[Chorus]
A               G        D
 Got to face up to this life
A                      G       D
 Can't let it get the best of me
A             G    D
 So I make a sacrifice
A                     G      D5
 If that's the way it has to be

[Bridge]
D5
I'm doing what I feel is right
D5
I'm ready if I need to fight
               G   Em  A
In the modern way
               D5
In the modern day

 Got to face up to this life
A                      G       D
 Can't let it get the best of me
A             G    D
 So I make a sacrifice
A                     G      D5
 If that's the way it has to be

[Verse 2]
D5
Like a motor in overdrive
D5
I feel good and I feel alive
D5
I got no need to beg or borrow
D5
Got a shortcut to tomorrow
               G   Em  A
And I'm on my way
              D5
To the modern day
              G   Em  A
Got a lot to say
               D5
In the modern day
                    G  Em  A
Because I need to stay
              D5
In the modern day
