Verse 1 

G                     D 
She said this talkin' Just kinda wears me out 
Em                   D 
N all these salesmen Baby make me tired 
G               D                Em 
They're no good Tell you the truth she said 
D 
I've been getting' used to liars 
G                       D 
They sing me love songs Store-bought words 
Em                 D 
They make promises Like politicians 
G             D             Em 
So we stumble N we disconnect 
Em       D         G 
Over and over again 



G            D                 Em 
This modern love Is not enough 
Em  
She said watch your back 
D                       G 
I'm nobody's girlfriend 
G             D 
This modern love Is not enough 
Em           D 
Oh oh oh oh oh 
Em        G                           D 
They said one big exhale never did me no Good 

Verse 2 

I let 'em in I 
Oh man I let 'em win 
I burned my house down 
Just to hear 'em scream my name 
I've carried hope 
And heavy daydreams 
She said 
But I'm done with sleepin' 

Bridge 

Take the phone calls 
Take this circus 
Take the drama 
Cuz baby it's 
Just worthless 

CHORUS 

Hook 

One big exhale never did me no good 
And the bright light shines 
Still we ache n we break n we 
Try 
The stage lights shine 
And they blind our eyes 
To it all 
Oh oh 
Still we ache n we break n we just can't 
Get it right 
  

This modern love Is not enough 
She said watch your back 
I'm nobody's girlfriend 
This modern love 
Is not enough 
Oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh 

Outro

This modern love 
Yeah it's a taco truck 
Come on take the phone calls 
N I'll take the silence 
This modern love 
Is not enough 
Oh oh oh oh Oh yeah 
One big exhale 
Never did me no good 
One exhale 
One big exhale yeah 
One exhale 
Never did me no good 
Oh never did me no good
