[Intro] |D5 | (8x) [Verse 1] 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 That’s the way I play In the modern day Because I want to stay In the modern day Got a picture in my mind Of the way that I wanna be So I search until I find The power inside of me It’s another phase Of the modern day [Chorus] Got to face up to this life Can’t let it get the best of me So I make a sacrifice If that’s the way it has to be [Instrumental] |D5 | (3x) [Bridge] I’m doing what I feel is right I’m ready if I need to fight In the modern way In the modern day [Instrumental] | Dsus2 | | (2x) | Dsus2 | | |D5 | (2x) [Chorus] Got to face up to this life Can’t let it get the best of me So I make a sacrifice If that’s the way it has to be [Instrumental] |D5 | (3x) [Verse 2] 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 And I’m on my way To the modern day Got a lot to say In the modern day Because I need to stay In the modern day [Instrumental] |D5 | (5x) [Outro] In the modern day
