The Black Keys - Modern Times: chords

G A                               A
They're going to get to it tomorrow
                          G A
But they don't care at all
                                          A
They're going to ease your pain and sorrow
                           G A
But we heard the same before
                     A                   G A
All my loving friends taking nothing home
                      A                  G A
And I can't be the one to lay troubles on

All their homes are broken
And what are they going to do?
There's no magic potion
Their lying days are through
Love and lust go hand-in-hand
Everything turn to dust in our promised land

Chorus:
A         D            A  C
Take the well-dressed man
     A         D        A C
And watch him pass you by
 A         D     A C
Work your life away
 A       D        A C
Make me want to cry
E     D   C B    A
In these modern times
A
Oh oh oh

I'm going to scream it on a mountain
To every valley wide
It's all your money they're counting
And to your face they lie
Put on your work boots, mama and your morning gown
Twelve men dead today they're already in the ground

Chorus:
See the well-dressed man
Watch him pass you by
Work your life away
Make me want to cry
In these modern times
In these modern times
In these modern times
Oh
