different during the second chorus.
Intro : Ebm
Heyyyy da da dada da
Verse : Ebm, F#, A, B, F#, Bb x2
I feel uptight when I walk in the city
I feel so cold when I'm at home
Feels like everything's starting to hit me
I lost my baby ten minutes ago
Chorus : B, F#, Ebm, Bb7
B, F#, Ebm, Bb7
B, F#, D, A
B, F#, Bb7, Bb7
Modern guilt, I'm stranded with nothing
Modern guilt, I'm under lock and key
Misapprehension turning into convention
Don't know what I've done
But I feel ashamed
Verse
Standing outside the cracks on the sidewalk
These people talk about impossible things
And I'm falling out the conversation
And I'm a pawn piece in a human shield
Chorus
Modern guilt is all in our hands
Modern guilt won't get me today
Say what you will, it's something I sing about
Don't know what I've done
But I feel afraid
Outro : Ebm, C#, B, Bb7
