D
I stand up for my pride
I don't want to be just like anyone
In this world I cannot hide
I must finish what I have begun
                   G  Em  A
That's the way I play
               D
In the modern day
                    G   Em  A
Because I want to stay
               D
In the modern day

D
Got a picture in my mind
Of the way that I wanna be
So I search until I find
The power inside of me
               G   Em  A
It's another phase
              D
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      D
If that's the way it has to be

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

Chorus

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

               G Em A D
In the modern day
